Domino Lane

Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Aunt Mary's Memoirs, Chapter 2: XVI

My mother had continued living on the farm on Domino Lane after my father's death. Frank was the farmer and he made this his life's work. Jim had graduated from Villanova University and married. Joe learned the carpenter trade and worked in Germantown and later was a policeman. Edmond helped on the farm while attending evening classes as Drexel Institute for Engineering. Rose had a bookkeeping position and later was a hairdresser. Betty went into nursing at St. Agnes Hospital in Philadelphia.
As Mother became very ill, Rose gave up her position and stayed home to take care of her. Mother suffered for over a year with cancer and died in January, 1931.
