COMMENTS:

Annie and her two brothers lived together most all of their lives. Until Annie in later life went to the nursing home to live. George & Herb farmed & Annie took care of the household chores & cooked. Annie, George and Herb were all very nice people.

Annie, George and Herb enjoyed going to town in the afternoon. I remember Mom and Annie would enjoy getting together for a cup of coffee and a roll, and just have a nice visit.

Annie would always say my name as "Barney" and that was ok with me. I didn't ever correct her to say my name the right way. This always stays with my nice memory of Annie. I always remember this.

I remember when the time would change they would never turn their clocks ahead. They would leave the time the way it was. They would have to remember the time change if they needed to go somewhere. There might have been a time or two they would have not gotten to where they should have on time but, they would make it.

They were all very kind & nice people.
