Oh wow! I knew Aunt Nellie! She was my dad’s aunt. I was around 5 or 8 yrs old when my dad, Walter, would go see here all the time. They lived in San Leandro next to a "Roads & Jamison” Cement plant. Nellie’s husband was a security or night watchmen for the plant. Not sure if the Co. supplied the house for them or the company built next to them and he had a short commute to work. She was raising a boy, her grandson who I used to play with and close to my age. I’m 57 by the way. Not sure of the story there and might know his name if I heard it.
Dad had a cousin named Herb Waldie who I didn’t realize was Nellie’s son. I was young and didn’t know all the last names of all these people or put together who they were. Herb I think lived in Hayward? And had a cabin in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in Felton, which we went out to a few times. My parents also bought a cabin in Ben Lomand.
I was young and really liked Aunt Nellie. I didn’t know my grandma Frances (not sure what they called her) because she died 8 months after I was born, but if she was anything like Nellie, then she was cool. I think Aunt Nellie had a daughter also. Both my grandma and Nellie were big women.
I do know that my grandpa Pat was catholic and Frances was Methodist and neither one was going to change, so it makes sense he is buried in St. Mary’s and she is in Evergreen cemeteries.
I remember the Martin line in Mariposa and wrote a letter to one of the descendents in the mid 1990’s.
I put together a Bulman family history (which also has Tresidder) that I think I have here in a box. I’ll try to dig for it tomorrow evening, if not on sat and get more accurate info to pass along.
BTW, I moved to Dallas Texas area in 1980 and still here. Born in Alameda and lived there until I was 2, then moved to Hayward. At age 12 we moved to Fremont.
Thanks for the info, Caren
