My great grandmother was a hell of a woman...six foot tall,2nd woman in the country to be a rural mail route deliverer,widowed in her twenties, she raised her three children and taught school on the reservation,too. Was postmaster in Versailles, NY for many years. Never idle, always crocheting and baking bread,playing cards with her daughter...drove to Stocton,Ca. many ,many times in the twenties,,,would write down her adventures and send them to the Gowanda,NY. newspaper and they would print them....wish I could have ridden shotgun with Gram...she was my childhood hero....
