This was written about my grandmother on my mother's side shortly after her death on April 29, 1993, by her friend Catherine Matthews Ham.
Gertrude and I have been friends since 1917.
I think she and her family had just moved here [Goldsboro, NC] from Scotland Neck.
Her mother had died leaving her father and two brothers, David and William, and two sisters, Annie Mae and Julia.
Gertrude was 17 and Annie Mae 19 and they became mothers to Julia 10 and the boys.
They lived in a large apartment on Center Street over Drs. Will and Richard Spicer's office.
Later they moved to 211 E. Pine Street. David had to go to World War I.
More to Come.
