"Mamie"

Stories told to Tammy Beckemeyer from Beryl Audrey Purdin Southard and Dorothy Bernice Southard Edgar.. Mamie was tall for a woman of her day about 5ft 9. She was taller than her husband. She also was a very private person. A lot of stories had to be told after her death. She walked a great deal about 8 to 10 miles a day till she was very old. People were amazed at how far she would go for her age. (see note under spouse)
