 Includes NotesNotes for Edith May Prouty:
Edith came from the "upper crust," with lineage, and was snobbish. It's said she is related to the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon.
Edith didn't like it at all when Arthur rode up on his motorcycle to court Millie; she thought he would corrupt her. Art had a sidecar in which Mildred could ride. When asked, "How did she (Mildred) feel about doing something her mother didn't approve of?" Mildred's son Ken replied, "By that age, she knew where she disagreed with her mother and had the fortitude to follow her own conscience."
"I never knew my grandparents on the Sparks side as living together. It was always 'Pop-Pop,' a traveling salesman who lived by himself and didn't drive a car, then 'Grammie & Moo-Moo,' who lived together. (I couldn't say 'Muriel' as a tike; it always came out 'Moo-Moo,' which stuck, of course.) I remember her slamming the car backward into a tree once when my father tried to teach her how to drive. He gave up on her and told her to pay a school for driving lessons." --Rich Genest
"Edith, used to vacation in Brattleboro, Vermont, with her daughter, Muriel. She probably went there to see relatives and her old stamping grounds, around 1942-46." --Ken Genest
