• Notes

  About Aunt Edna, she was married twice. First to someone named Benjamin(last name) in Bayshore. He was the captain of the ferry that went to Ocean Beach, and from that marriage came their son George, who married a Swedish girl named m"Marie";. After George died, she sold many of her collections (antique buff) and I bought many things from her, including the long church bench you have(?) . Then , Aunt Edna, still young married a landscape gardener and even more of a nursery man from the Philadelphia area named_______ Smith. They had a daughter Julia and two sons, Brewster and Jarvis (same names again). These children , in their early teens, with their parents visited at the old homestead one summer. I will never forget them because the boys donned leather jackets and took turns shooting at each other. I remember there were single bullets in the shot gun. The bullets left marks on the jackets but the boys lived. I guess they weren't deadly bullets, but I was much younger and scared to death.
