• Notes

  Born on Spencer Street, Brooklyn, New York in grand parents home six months after her grandmother's death. "My fathers scrap book was in my bottom drawer of book case in hall. One day Lester came in and said to mother, he wanted to take it and look it over. He was wise and wanted to get it away from me and out he went with. Right away I said you will never see that again and we never did. He certainly worked mother for everything." Died of generalized Sepsis or Infection of Skin (bed soars).
