1966 – 1968
1966 – October 31 - First Grand daughter
Edith Christina Booher Born
Our oldest daughter, Ann,
had gotten married December of 1965. Her husband, Heinz Booher was a Marine that
had been stationed in Hawaii. Ann was expecting our first grandchild.
Harold and I had moved
to Dayton, Ohio after Ann went to Hawaii to be with her husband Heinz. Harold
was managing a service station that one of his brothers owned.
We had moved a trailer
in next to our house on Old 31W and rented the house to Danny and his wife
Velda Darline Sherrard Thomas. I was working for W. T. Grant’s and we had
finally caught up on our bills and had a good Christmas.
I wasn’t too happy that
Ann was living in Hawaii, and was pregnant with my first grandbaby. Harold had
all ready told me that I wasn’t allowed to go there to see them. It was just
too expensive. I was getting pretty homesick for Elizabethtown. My mother and
father were living there, my son and his wife were living there now; and we got
the news that Ann was coming home with our granddaughter, Edith Christina
Booher, who was now ten months old. This was Mother’s Day 1966; that we found
out she was coming home. So we went back to Elizabethtown to live.
Harold started working
for B L Taylor at the E’town Bowling Alley. We had sold our house in the
country, sold the trailer, and we had rented a house on Mantle. Jean was in
beautician school. We had decided when Jean finished beauty school and
graduated in May we would take the money we had saved and travel.
