"George and William wore white ruffled shirts every day when young. They opeorated the mechanical washing machine by one pushing and one pulling back and forth. Their father, James, was gone working on the railroad most of the time. They were left to their own devices and got into a lot of trouble. James quit the railroad once for farming but went back to the railroad. Fire burned the house down." as told by the daughter of Ruth Naomi Casteel Beardslee, Ruth Alice Beardslee Ambler.
I have some pictures of James and Mary and many pictures documenting the life of my grandmother, Ruth. I also have pictures of Margaret, her husband, grandchildren and great grandchildren and her last letter to my grandmother. Margaret made quilts right up to her death. I have a note that says that she made 262 quilts in her lifetime. Unfortunately, I don't know where the note came from.
I would really appreciate more info.
