I wish I had made some notes of all the facts of my lineage, and though my mother told me over and over about Daddy’s relatives, I regret to say, that’s a long time ago and I didn’t write down names and dates. They were all from the East, and I made no notes. My father’s side of my family was interesting, and some of Grandmother Medairy’s connections were very affluent. This however, wasn’t handed down to the in-laws, the Medairys. Mother was a strong character and had a good mind, to say nothing of being a pretty woman, until she died in 1976 at approximately 90 years of age. My Mother’s mother was also very strong. She came from England along with her family, which included a younger sister, Nana. Nana lived with us when I was born, along with Grandma Page and Aunt Myrtle. At first, they had lived on a farm near St. Louis. We ended up all together in a nice home on Belt Ave.
My aunt, Myrtle Page (above) There we lived next to a family we became good friends with. Their daughter, Frances Casey, became my best friend all through the years until she died in 1976.
