She had ver y littl e to ea t afte r her fathe r died. She insisted o n gettin g an educa tion. H er mother wo rked as a seamstre ss and sh e taught Ge rtrude a nd Frankie t o sew. Her moth er had a h orse and bug gy. He r mother did n 't like he r daughters i n-law,being p artial t o her sons. G ertrud e said she trie d to treat he r daughter s in-law the sa m e as her sons. Sh e claims he r grandmothe r had a title a n d that sometime s he would inh erit a lot o f money. Sh e say s her grandmoth er was a "Va n Valkenburg".
She remember celebrating Christmas and the Christma s t r e e s had candles on it. She said they had very litt le f o r C hr istmas. Most gifts were hand made. She rememb ers c ar s wh e n they were first made. She remembers seein g airp lan es fi rs t in California. Quote from her: "Mone y doesn 't m ake th e l ady". She attended the Methodist c hurch an d lat er wen t t o the Baptist church . She met h er husban d a t a pie su ppe r (box supper). He outbid th e other youn g me n for her b ox a t auction. He courted he r and they go t mar ried. She sa ys al l of her children we re born at hom e. The y were delive red b y a midwife. Sh e lost one bab y who wa s blue-eyed an d fai r haired. Sh e says her husba nd was je alous of the ba by an d really d idn't want him . One day sh e noticed a blac k spo t on th e baby's head . It turned ou t to be a burst bl ood ve sse l . Orville c arried the bab y up the hill and th e bab y s tartedto cry . Orville took t he baby out to the wa ln ut tre e while Ge rtrude putthe mil k in the spring hous e .

She claims that childhood was easier when she was li v i n g i n the 1890's.She claims that World War I caused m ot he r s t o work and that resulted inthe break-down of th e f ami ly . C hildren were not turned loose. They hadcho re s to d o . Ther e was more trust between parents and chi ldr en in h er mind.
