A note about Edith whom I called Aunt Eed

Aunt Eed took care of her Aunt (and Ernest's sister), Florence Cahill, before Florence died. Aunt Florence was confined to a wheelchair, the result of Jake Leg from drinking bath tub gin during the 20’s. As a little girl (in the very early 1940s), I went to visit them, and remember that Aunt Eed was a very sweet woman with a good sense of humor.

Laura married Howard Franklin Flowers. They married April 29, 1922 in Masseyville, Ross County.

Thelma Flowers b. Nov. 18, 1925
