Note
“Annie was a tiny wisp of a woman – less than 5′ tall, and probably not weighing much more than 85lb or so. She has certainly produced some heaver, taller descendants. It’s all that good farm living. I still recall great Aunt Annie toting the milking bucket and heading off to find the cow. She was a very hard worker, even in her old age”. – Judith Rogerson
