hey, guys! you know, my friend, Garitha just lost her sis. She told me that in after she had the heart attack out in Michigan on Thanksgiving 1988, her sis stood by her bedside in the recovery room and she tried so hard to tell her something, but it just didn't work. she loved her so much. Did she know how much? she never told her. There are always questions you wish you'd asked after it's too late to get an answer. Sometimes years can pass before you realize they're questions.
Everyone said she"took after her," and I did. her features are more rounded than anyone else on either side of her family. Martha R. Stumm was the youngest of six surviving children of a Dutch-Irish-German couple who raised their family on a farm outside Tayorville, Illinois. Years after after her father died and her mother opened a boarding house in Urbana, enough oil was found beneath the land to make it worth drilling.
