Then with eyes brightened the 90 year old face displayed the remnant of a child's scampish smile as she recalled a Saturday when Tony and Mary had gone to St. Augusta for a weekend of visiting and church. The children were left in charge of the household and chores, but before the work was begun the kids got out a big kettle and made a batch of oatmeal, only to be discovered by Mrs. Joe Goenner who had taken time to stop and look in on the children. There they all were, eating oatmeal to their hearts' content -- before the chores! Those were simpler days . . .Elizabeth died May 18, 1984 in Benton County, Minnesota. She was 98 years old. |
