My father, Richard Brimm, is the oldest son of Margaret Eldridge Brimm.Ollie was my dad's grandmother.I knew Uncle Press and some of his sons.My father told me that Ollie was part Indian - that she loved to fish - she smoked a pipe and made a lot of her own medicines.I've also heard the story that she stopped one of my maternal aunts from bleeding from a bad knife cut to her hand.I just started researching my family history and any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
