March 9, 1931 – from Elma

Lots of good history in this one.

Grandma! You knew we were going to read these because you saved them! Anyway, clearly, they couldn’t wait to be together. They were not spring chickens either. Remember that she was 24 and he was 30. I wanted to give some reference to the phrase that she mentions “I’ll do the cooking honey, and you can chop the wood”. The phrase was from a song written and sung by Bill Bailey in 1902. Later this song would be recorded by Patsy Cline in 1953.

She also mentions the death of a priest, Reverend Frances Luebberman. It took me a while to find any information because she spelled his name wrong. He died on March 6, 1931.
