You may say "November 1st", I say "Aunt Martha."

That's just how my mind works.
I love this picture of my Mom's second oldest sister, 
Martha, as a high school graduate.

And, this one of three of the four family teachers.

Martha, Pauline & Fern

Originally ten children grew up on the Beatty farm.
Three of the boys died too early.

Aunt Martha dated Uncle Jerry. I remember he smoked a pipe.

Uncle Jerry & Aunt Martha

They were married many years.

Uncle Russell, Aunt Fern, Aunt Pauline, Uncle Owen, Aunt Martha, Uncle Jerry, & Grandpa.

Aunt Martha was a master teacher her whole life, 

and later retired to marry Uncle Jewell.

Aunt Martha was a great lady, 

with a wonderful sense of humor.

One of the very best, ever I think.  I still miss her so.

Aunt Vonda & Aunt Martha,

Happy Birthday Aunt Martha!

for me ... Aunt Martha & Aunt Vonda
