Brief Life Sketch

Susan is Angie’s grandmother.

“Through all trials she never complained and was always cheerful. She looked on the ‘bright side of life’… She was immaculate in her personal appearance and took pride in being nicely dressed. Her hair was thin and fine and she used a hair tonic all the time. It was a privilege to get a peek into her parlor. She had an organ, a carpet sweeper and a feather duster which were really luxuries in those days.

She was active in the church, singing in the choir and was for many years counselor to Caroline Ely Partridge Lyman in Relief Society. Folks went to her when in trouble and she would help them out no matter what time of day or night she was needed. She was very charitable, and took little dainties to the sick and gave a dollar here and there to be sent to the missionaries.

Everyone liked her as a neighbor.”
