Narrative

Virginia Zellers Fiscus said, "Aunt Edna was the fun aunt. She was a school teacher until she married, because in those days women didn't work when they married. She was always kind, cheerful, and funny when the cousins went to her house." Tragically, her two sons were both killed in car accidents in the 1940's.
