You may say "November 1st", I say "Aunt Martha."
That's just how my mind works.
I love this picture of my Mom's second oldest sister,
Martha, as a high school graduate.
And, this one of three of the four family 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 great lady,
with a wonderful sense of humor.
One of the very best, ever I think. I still miss her so.
