- She was my Grandma. While visiting Canada, I read a document that mentioned her name as Hortense! We never knew that.
1882/83 - Clerk Bradstreet's Mercantile Agency; bds 608 Ashland Avenue
(same address as Elizabeth), St. Paul, MN.
1885/86 - teacher Neill School, bd 106 Ashland Avenue, St. Paul.
1888/89 - teacher Neill School, bds 239 Selby Avenue. Not listed in St.
Paul Directory 1891/92 or after.
She may have gone to Corey School of Speech in Boston, Massachusetts
about 1893.
She died from a Cerebral Hemhorrage (sp?)--
fell over in a coma while eating lunch. She lived at Offield
Convalenscent Home, 3249 West Fairview Plance (Room 202) in Denver.
She lived with us at different times, and was selfish and had a nasty disposition. However, she could “turn on the charm” when we didn’t let her get away with nasty remarks (gave it right back to her). She did love the mountains in Colorado, and appreciated the rides there. However, she loved us, but was hard to be around. She certainly did not AGE gracefully--wouldn’t admit her age and dressed like a very young person.
She never wanted to be called Grandma. When Suzie was a baby, she
called her "DaDa" so that nickname stuck, and that was the name we all
called her. It pleased her.
When she died, she had broken her hip, and was in a convescendant home. When the home called us that she had had a bad spell and was in serious condiion, we had tgo get ahold of my mother and dad, who were on their way to Borger, Tex. tolive for awhile. Having no idea where they were, I called the operator and told her that it was an emergency to find them, that they were on their way to Borger. Much to my parents’ surprise when they arrived in Borger, and had just gone into a drug store, to find the police lookinf for them! I always thought that the phone operator did a great job.
