Hi Quilter2: Need to think about that. My g-g'mother passed when I was grown, about 1969. She was an amazing woman. Her mother died in birthing her, so she never knew her own mother. After she was married with two children, she was widowed in her 20's. She eventually remarried, had two more children, and that husband was killed in an accident. She raised all four children alone, farming and working where she could. Remember, there was no social network of support then, nor did she have widow's benefits. I wonder how she kept going! In her later years, she kept house for a bachelor farmer, and I enjoyed going there during the summers of my childhood. I learned so much spending time with her. Her name was Mabel, and she always wore an apron. That's where I got my love of aprons. Best guess is that the GFG is about 60 yrs. old. Thanks for your interest.
