I can remember Aunt Dora being able to walk very well. As a child, my first memory of her was she had white hair and wore it bobbed (short) and she was a little stout. She was shorter in height than my mother who is 5 ft. 7 in. tall. She was afraid of storms and went with Aunt Ida to the storm cellar every time there was a thunderstorm. -- --Martha Mays Gillespie 5-31-98. ⁴⁶⁶
