took them to town with her and brought them home with her when they were
in their 60s and 70s. She lived alone in the little town of Fruitland,
Iowa, and made quilts in her last few years. If someone had a party in
town and she was not invited, she would write to her state legislator
and complain. My dad, John Reed, remembers her for her sour plum butter
in the stone jars she always brought to them. I also remember her for
sewing black sleeves on all of my grandmother’s dresses (Frankie). Her
married name was Craddock.
