At some point the roles were reversed. My grandfather moved to Dayton from Mercer County during the depression for work and was the groundskeeper/maintenance man there when he and my grandmother were married. She came to Dayton to work at a biscuit factory and boarded with a family on Illinois Avenue. When my mom was born in 1938 they moved back north to farm. Several of my great aunts were Precious Blood Sisters who left the farms when they 14 or 15 to join the order. They were some pretty amazing ladies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
