"My father was in the civil war. He had charge of the commissary Department and fed the soldiers well. He was well educated. He was an orator, and when young, was called upon in many public meeting places to recite the Declaration of Independence. He also impersonated Shakespeare plays. This is where I inherited my talent for acting. After the war, his trade was cabinet maker, finisher and sign painter. In those days, all such work was done by hand." Quoted from Edith Summerfruit's life history.
