I have very fond memories of groeing up in Brownsville, Ohio and moving later to Newark, Ohio. I have a sister named Melody Lynn and a brother named Donald Douglas. I also have a half sister named Allison and a half brother named Shawn. My best memories were of my Granmaw and granpaw Broceus. We later named them Granmaw and granpaw Pickle. (My granmaw made the best pickles around. She also made the best homemade noodles. It seemed like we spent at least every other weekend with them in the summer. She would be canning or baking or figuring out some kind of craft to make with us. The bug footstools were the best. Granpaw cut the piece of wood, take 1 large oatmeal container ,cut in half, fill wth newspaper and put the half to the wood for a backing.cover with vinal and use upolstery tacks to hold to wood. spools for 6 feet. big black buttons for etes and pipecleaners for the antenus. They may not have had much but they sure had the love and hearts of gold. My sister and one of her sons and a cousin now live on their property. So happy some of the land is still belonging to family.

My great grandfather, James E. Foster, was maried 3 times. His second wife would have been my gr. grandmother. She died when my grandfather was only 4 years old. The family lived in Clinton, KY my mother believes, and moved to Missouri shortly after my gr. grandmother's death. My gr. grandfather then married an Elsey Dunlap in Charleston, Missouri. Mother says that grandfather told her that Elsey treaten my grandfather and his sister like house servants and made them do all the housework, laundry and cooking. She said one day, grandfather got tired of it and when Elsey told his sister, Beverly, to cook dinner, grandpa told her she was not doing it. Elsey then slapped grandpa, grandpa pushed her down and packed his belongings and left, never speaking the Elsey or his father again, he was 17 years old. When his father died, he was very wealthy but only left my grandpa $1, mean old man! We don't know my gr. grandmother's name, mom thinks it may be Elizabeth or Delores, she died in 1896. Email me with/for info!
