• Notes

  Newspaper quote: ...married Tues. evening 7 p.m. to George Robert Curtiss. They lived in Lansing after the wedding. Harry Turner was best man (I have Wedgewood pices that he gave them for a wedding present. She was a wonderful grandma and had a good sense of humor. She was one of the early feminists, and marched the streets for the right to vote--a Curtiss believe it or not! She was elegant! She told me once that she could have married a very wealthy man. He asked her to "row down life's stream" with him; but she told him "no, that she would probably have to do all the rowing!" A quote and some of her thoughts: "It's not what I say, it's what I mean!!" "It isn't life that matters so much: It is courage you give to it." "We are creater of our destiny." "There isn't so much sacrificing for children as is thought--we are just up against too strong an adversary (?)" "Inherent American objection to being told what to do and what not to do." "Most precious of all posessions is 2nd (?) existence (a friend). We reflect in our friends the hunger of our heart. We die a little every time we lose a friend. It takes a great deal of understanding to gain a friend. Lots of loving, forgiving invested--but dividends begin at once. Never cut off when trouble comes. Remains like a guardian. Sooo start your life off with a friend! Most precious of all possessions. Choose carefully." "Have faith - Be cheerful - Be happy with the belief you can move mountains (Claude Driscoll, Magic of Believing)"
