Aunt Nellie's husband, Edward McRae, had a very big dairy farm when he was young. He apparently had become awful poor, because now she was living in a very small wooden frame house. I stayed with Aunt Nellie and Uncle George took my son, John, with him to the original Fish homestead, where his son, George Fish, Jr., still farmed. My Aunt Nellie had three daughters. They were nurses and lived and worked in nearby towns. I called them and invited them to come to dinner. We enjoyed a nice dinner around a very small round table in the tiny kitchen. The girls kept staring at me and looking bewildered. I asked "Why is it you all look at me so funny?" They each one smiled and said I looked and acted very much like my grandmother (her name was Mary Ann, too). Aunt Nellie also said I was exactly like her in every way. During dinner, her daughters decided that Nellie should spend one month with each daughter. Well folks, the girls did it and they gave her new life - she lived 3 and ½ years after that. We became pen pals, and she made me a quilt (which my daughter still has)."
