My Great Aunt Mattie was a wonderful lady. The nephew and nieces referred to in the obituary were my dad and my aunts. I was only 13 when she died, but I do remember some trips she made to visit it us in Wisconsin, which I remember really enjoying. During one trip, she brought me a beautiful handmade quilt that I still treasure today. The obituary sounds like she had a very small, dwindling family, but if she were alive today, she would boast of six grand-nieces, five grand-nephews; 17 great-grandnieces and nephews, and six great-great grandnieces and nephews. She would be glad to know that we have lived well and prospered.
Thank you for sharing Mattie’s wonderful life. The quilt she made is, I’m sure a very special treasure!
