wrote the following:
Dear Ruth [Berneda Haynes Pape],
Grandma Hannah liked my mother Dora [Oberfeldt Haynes] very much and she would
visit for a couple weeks every so often, as during that time my mother would
sew her a couple of dresses, just cotton, but Grandma was so precise, and my
mother really tried to please her. I don't suppose she ever wore them out.
At this time I was in my early teens and I regret I didn't get Grandma to tell
more about her early marriage to Grandpa. She did tell us how they started out
way up on the hill, Grandpa built one side at a time Winter and Summer. Grandpa
didn't like farming - he was a cooper (barrel maker) and he wasn't always there,
build on their cabin some, make a baby, and be gone again to earn money, I guess.
Grandma said she would stay awake at night with a shotgun close to her and the
babies so the wild animals couldn't get in their partially finished cabin. And
when Grandma Hannah said something, it was the Gospel truth, so I believe all
that. She told, first Grandpa, after they arrived on the hill, where they found
a spring and got some sort of cabin started, Grandpa made a rolling pin she always
used when baking. When I was a young girl, I remember asking her how to roll
a round circle for a pie crust and she answered; "Why Edna, you just think
round." Getting back to "their" young life, Grandma had the babies
and grew the food, and as I recall, Aunt Fanny, the oldest left for the city
and Grandpa became quite a drinker and abusive to Grandma and the boys grew up
and left home and insisted that Grandma leave Grandpa. So they moved her down
the hill to that house on the run. I was very young but remember that place,
just a few rooms, they all must have been very poor. Aunt India was still at
home then. I remember we visited at times and Dad would walk us up that hill
to visit Grandpa. He scared us kids as he was a very rough talker. But I remember
he had pretty blue-grey eyes. Funny, how that can stay in my mind. Grandma told
us he was a ferocious man, once bit the back of a chair clear through. Well
they had a rough life but did have a bunch of nice children. I have many good
memories of our visits in later years. All the sons had nice wives and their
hospitality will always be remembered. I wish I knew more about Grandpa. Beginning,
I think Dad said he came from England or Ireland ? how he got to Ohio or when,
I don't know. I know nothing about Grandma's beginnings, except she had Indian
blood. If you find anything out about them please let me know as I am very interested,
as is my son Don. If I'm not around, please send the information to J. Donald
Shebert, 37940 Netherlands Road, Clarksburg, CA 95612. Hope Darlene and Larry
can make sense of my ramblings into the past. I do know "we" came
from some rough stock, Right?
