Thank you! I look forward to learning other stories about family branches! One I can share thst I heard with my own ears, my great grandmother on my mom's side Alice Foster (Pfister) lived to be nearly 107! She was born on 1874. I lived with her as a kid. In 1890 when she was 16 to moved from a small town to Philadelphia to be a,seamstress for wealthy families. She rode a bicycle before it was socially acceptable. Around 1894 she married a man 20 years her senior by her choice because she knew he could take her out of Pennsylvania. They moved by train to northern California and he was a civil engineer i believe on oil fields. 4 years later with two toddlers in tow my great grandmother moved back across the US to PA, Alton followed her a year later. To her chagrin he told her his newly found passion was farming! So she went from living for a few years "high on the hog" to living with hogs on their farm!
She took her first airplane ride on her 100th birthday and in heriferime witnessed so many technological advances: telephone, radio, television, autos, airplanes and space travel to the moon! Just imagine!
