The Reveling of Aunt Bessie


For those of you that have wondered about Aunt Bessie whom we had mentioned in a couple of posts since leaving Florida has been riding with us. We stopped at my cousin Rod & Joy Wheeler's in Wauneta, NE Thur. afternoon on our way to Imperial. We removed Aunt Bessie from under the bed, she had survived the trip without incident. She will reside with them until they get together with their daughter Anita from Atlanta, GA this summer. The picture of Aunt Bessie is one that my mother had and we had taken to Florida after she died. She was a sister of my Grandmother Wheeler that had died as a young child, she lived from 1886 until 1889. I learned yesterday that she had a twin sister named Dessie that died at about 18 or 19 years of age.
