Misc. Notes
1. From a taped interview with Beatrice Wakenshaw Nov 2001 (we were looking at photo albums and there was a gum wrapper taped in one of the pages. A stick of ‘OH BOY’ spearmint chewing gum): “OH, I wondered what happened to that. I kept that in my Bible for years. Grandma Sanders came to Illinois the year before she died. And she had so many grandchildren, she always wanted to give everybody something. Bless her heart, she must have had 40 some grandchildren, and she got enough packages of gum that she gave each one of us a stick of gum. Now, that was all she had to give, is a stick of gum. Now wasn’t that precious?”
