Agnes "Finlay" Sinniger - Love you, Grandma!

My Grandmother "Agnes" Finlay Sinniger was born on 3 October 1890 in Dalmellington, Scotland. She came to the United States in 1900, at the age of about 10 years. Her father was Samuel Finlay and her mother was Ellen/Helen Harper. Grandma had 8 brothers and sisters (John, Robert, William, Helen, Mary Ann, Margaret (Daisy), Elizabeth and Sarah). There may have been one more child or pregnancy that was lost on the way from Scotland to the US, according to what my mother "Helen" told me. The port of entry to the US was Boston. Grandma was a carefree spirit who loved to travel. She was not the kind of person to stay home and house clean. She did not mind "dust bunnies" under the bed. When Grandma was born, it was either a tradition or just unable to give Grandma a middle name. After she was married, she used her maiden name as her middle name and often went by the name Agnes F. Sinniger (F for Finlay). Grandma like to write articles to the local newspaper in Glendale, California -- the Glendale Newspress. They were mostly political articles. She also wrote a book called "The Mad Camerons" about a New England family, supposedly based on her own family but the book is "fictional". Grandma married Herbert Bruce Sinniger (Sr.) and she and Herbert had three children - Helen Caroline, Herbert Bruce (Jr.) and Curtis Dalton Sinniger.
