November 1st was Aunt Martha's birthday.
I love this picture of my Mom's second oldest sister, 
Martha, as a high school graduate.




And, this one of three of the families four teachers.



Martha, Pauline & Fern


Originally ten children grew up on the Beatty farm.
Three of the boys died too early.

Aunt Martha dated Uncle Jerry. I remember he smoked a pipe.

They were married many years.

Aunt Martha was a master teacher her whole life, 
and later retired, and married Uncle Jewell.

Aunt Martha was a great lady, teacher, artist
with a wonderful sense of humor.
One of the very best ever, I think.  
I still miss her so.
