Notes

Maude's birth year is in question. The family bible said it occurred in 1875. At least one birth record says 1874. I'm taking it that the bible is accurate as it looks to be a unique item entered at the time of birth. I have wonderful memories of this truly great character in my family. She was my great aunt. She was a tall, well built woman of great strength with deep auburn hair. She reminded me of how the actresss who played "Hello Dolly" looked. She was feisty and loving at the same time. Family history says she ran away from home, but when the records are checked, this did not occur till she was in her 20's. She ran away to be a governess. She and her first husband owned a bar. When her my great Uncle Lux died and prohibition set in, she made "hootch" in a still in her basement to support herself. At age 90, we were really upset that we'd forgotten her "hootch" recipe when she moved in with us. She outlived two husbands and was still on a bowling team in her 80's with much younger members than her.

Aunt Maude was always giving me a "hard" time because I was so skinny. She'd tell me wise tales, like "Bury the dishcloth in the back yard, then you'll gain some weight and catch a man." She'd fondly slap me on my rear as I brushed my teeth as a teenager in the mornings as she passed me by. She always baked her own bread and everything else from scratch. Medical practices were homemade. She had a very strong intuitive medical sense. My Mother always said she'd have been a great doctor. Upset stomachs required burnt toast. All cuts and bruises got vinegar on them. She lived her last few years with our family and that meant that her room still reeked of vinegar well after she died in our home at about the age of 96. She was like a second mother to my mom and had raised her every summer of her life. Maude had no children of her own, and my mother was in a true sense that daughter.

They lived meagerly, would give their shirts to people in need, and were very close knit with several of their best friend's families. They would all get together and play cards, the McGee's, Joe Acshamble, and Uncle Lux's two daughter's, Grace and Helen and their husbands. When Mom (Marcena Coate) was little, Uncle Lux, Aunt Maude's first husband, always wanted her around when they played cards. He called her "Sausage" as a nickname. He'd say, "Sausage, Come rub my head and bring me luck." She was the one out of her sisters that he was closest too and he told her it was because she was no trouble at all. She lived in a cottage style home up on Lake Sinclair in Michigan while I knew her. I got to go with my 2 cousins on a train to visit with her when I was but seven years of age. I can remember we took off in a row boat when the weather turned ugly and we poked holes in her fresh baked bread while it was still hot. It was so good.

She was a rich character and so very loved by us all.
