Memories: About Aletha Belle. She was a “Big Girl” at school and combed her long hair into a popular hairdo – 2 buns over her ears.

Aletha Belle and May took turns getting Ethel and I into our coats ready to go home. They made it into a race to see who could get ready first. We were the “little kids”

Aletha Belle rode to school in a buggy. We walked. It was a really big day when we got a ride to school. Mom would come after us sometimes in the one horse & buggy. I remember my dad coming at least once in a sled made from a carbody pulled by horses.
