Called Mabel. Sister of Daisy Herrington Lauterbach.
Mabel and Daisy Herrington were daughters of Bill Herrington and Ella Walton, who lived one half mile east of us at Cashion, Oklahoma. Ella Walton was a sister of Ed Walton who homesteaded across the road from my father in 1889, in old Oklahoma. (Blanche Winters Lauterbach, 1978)
I was 12 year old when she died. I was devastated because she was such a wonderful person and so important to me. Now there was a supermom! When my mother was burned real bad from trying to spill some gasoline onto her bonfire, we went to Grandma's and lived for 6 months while Mom laid on a cot in the parlor because she could only have one light blanket over her she was burned so badly. Grandma took wonderful care of us and never missed a beat with all her duties. It sure was cold upstairs in that old farmhouse. Daddy hired a lady to take care of Mama because she refused to go to a hospital. That was where you went to die. (Wanda Marlene Jackson Bedwell, 2002)123 |

Grandma neither went to a Dr. before she had a baby nor to undress for any kind of examination if she could help it. Mama said before Uncle Neel was born that she called Dr. Neil (the name is correct) about 2 weeks before she expected to deliver and advised him that she would be calling him and that she wanted to tell him she was expecting to have him deliver her.
Grandma was quite large. She wore corsets and the one she wore every day had a broken whalebone stay in it and it poked her in the left breast. So - she would fold a piece of cloth and poke it down under the corset to protect herself from being jabbed until she finally became alarmed because it had made her sore where the stay poked her. Grandpa took her to Halstead Kansas where they were doing cancer surgeries and they said she had cancer and removed the breast and left NO skin or tissue to cover the place where the breast was removed. She was also cut down her left arm and every lymph node they found was also removed. Forever after her arm was very swollen and her chest was nothing but scars. She was told they got it all and since this was before chemotherapy she went home. Two years later she fell in the bathtub and cracked a rib ON HER LEFT SIDE and that started the cancer again which they had not gotten all of because it was in her lungs.

Called Charlie.
I remember a story about Uncle Charley, that my granddad told me. I'm sure this was probably in the 60's. Charley was in the hospital, I don't remember why, but I know the Mazie family had been worried about him. Anyway, seems Uncle Charley got bored staying in bed, and since his street clothes were there, he got up and dressed, left the hospital and went to a movie. After the movie, he returned, put his pajamas on and got back in bed. After hearing that Grandpa decided Uncle Charley was going to be OK. (PLH)
Osborne Cemetery, near Mayfield, Kansas, is a small graveyard north of his home, as the road turns east into Wellington, Kansas, on the south side of the road. |
