My Mother's birthday

Today my mother has a birthday, She was born in the 19th century and saw many changes in the world. Dhr had a twin sister who lived a short time and after the twins were born her parents left Parkerville, Ks and moved to Topeka on Polk Street. The twin, Ethel Bessie was buried in the Topeks cemetery where Vice President Curtis waa buried. Her parents beleved all the children should get all the schooling they could and all but one daughter did. That is where my father met her at Washburn College. She wanted to live to be a hundred so the US President would send her a lett but died 6 months before, We always thought one reason she lived so long she was living for her twin sister also. Her mind was always good and even went to Europe with us when we took our group. Happy Birthday Mom
