Georgia: On My Mind

Georgia Green Stamper

In May of 1968, my husband and I moved into our first house. Our monthly mortgage payments were one hundred eighteen dollars and ninety-eight cents – or as my husband boasted to everyone - six dollars a month less than the rent we’d been paying on our apartment. We were amazed at our financial cleverness. J. P. Morgan watch out!

Remembering a lost loved one on Memorial Day

Editor’s Note: Emma (Munson) Juett recently wrote this letter to her younger sister Florence (Munson) Giles about the death of Ruth Munson, another sister. Ruth died March 19, 1940, at age 16.

Florence, I said I would tell you about when Ruth died, and the only way I can do it is to write it down.
She had been sick for maybe a couple of weeks and Dr. McBee had been down to see her two or three times, but we didn’t know, or at least I didn’t know, that she was as sick as she was.
