February 24, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

February 24, 1963
Sun cloudy light snow 20’s LaVerne and Roberta here for dinner. We went to mother’s in the afternoon for supper. Evelyn and Clifford were here but we didn’t see them. Girls and I went to church and Sunday School.
Comment:  Again, the noon meal was dinner and the evening meal supper.  Many times relatives would drop in at just about any time.  Because of the remoteness, people who knew us would stop by if they were driving by to go somewhere else.  I think Evelyn was one of Dad's favorites and I remember Marilyn telling me about talking to Evelyn and she told Marilyn how well Dad treated her and Winifred, buying them jewelry and other stuff.  Here is a picture of the Taylor family and of Evelyn.
Evelyn was born on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1915 and had 4 children by Clifford Taylor who died in 1968 of diabetes:   James Barry, Glenn Clifford, Yvonne "Bonnie", and infant David.  Glenn died at 22 of kidney failure in 1964.  Baby David was born in 1954 and died in 1955, a "blue baby" with a congenital heart defect.  Bonnie died of cancer  May 17, 1998.  Evelyn died March 8, 2005, 90 years old.  She was the last survivor of the eight children of Elmer and Agnes Hubbard. She had the great misfortune of seeing her husband and three of her four children die..and with the death of James Barry Taylor earlier this year, this generation of the family is gone.....

Actually Aunt Winnie was the youngest child and I thnk Aunt Ina Belle was younger than my Grandmother as well as well.

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
