A story about the old house from Forrest: Apparently there was an addition between the kitchen and another room. Over time the house settled and there was a gap in the floors. One of the family members lost a silver dollar down the gap and was unable to recover it. So they told the rest of the family and when the little home was demolished a generation later, the dollar was recovered and returned to it's original owner.
Bert was Annie's youngest son. He was a tall man - especially compared with his petite mother. Esther's mother, Annie's daughter, had passed away and Esther was raised by Annie. By the way, Esther was also a school teacher, as was Maude. They followed in their grandmother's footsteps.
