In Memory of Gertrude Prince Hood-- Part 4

Gertrude and Graham bought a house in front of Herman Park at 504 N. Jackson Street [where I'm typing this right now].

We had a Sewing Circle, sewing baby clothes.

They had two sons who preceded them in death, avid, an infant; and William who married Dot Harris. hey had two children, Graham III and Gayle.

Their (Gertrude and Graham's) daughter was Barbara who married Donald Hatch.

Gertrude's sister Annie Mae married Clifton Phillips, William married Julia Mae Roberts and after her death Virgi Forbes. Julia married Bush Nash.

Gertrude loved her home and delighted in having a flower garden full of gorgeous roses. She also loved bridge and sewing. She took them to the sick.

She was a member of many clubs and organizations such as the Garden Club, D.A.R., World War I Veterans Auxiliary, Bridge Clubs, etc.. She loved people and they loved her. She was also a teacher in the Carey Newton Sunday School Class and was active in church work and in the Silver Singers.

More to Come.
