   Mother's occupations were many. Left with six children in the later depression years, she did everything from woodcutting to ditch digging in the winter, spring and summer. In wartime she did defense work, her skills were anything she could do to help another: doctor, nurse, midwife, and yes undertaker also. Her home was open to anyone who needed it. A very independent, determined lady, she worked very hard to keep her family together and thank God she did. Poor but rich, she blessed our table with thanks and filled our home with love, kindness, and happiness we'll never forget. She was a brilliant lady who taught us honesty and respect for ourselves as well as our fellow man. She died in Pasadena, Maryland in the year 1965. There is no way to express the appreciation I hold for this lady. (by unknown daughter of Delialah)
