Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    I believe this lady helped raise my sister and I. She lived with "Doc" Boswell who passed before her, I think . My sister and I stayed with her many days at my great grandparents log cabin. We were very young and we always called her Boswell. It wasn't until after her death that we learned her first name. A very sweet lady!! I often tell stories of drawing water from the well taking baths in a wash tub with water heated on a wood burning stove and yes walking the path to the outhouse. Yee Haw. Many fond memories. I was about 9 or 10. At the time of her death she lived in the Twin Towers building in Poplar Bluff Missouri
