8. Interesting about the patron saint of cooks and bottle washers.

If I remember the story correctly, my mom's family employed a young woman named Martha to help my mom's mom with housework. My mom, who was a young child at the time, thought this young lady was quite pretty.

This was before the Depression. My grandfather was one of the dentists in their small town, and they were OK financially before 1929. After that, his patients sometimes paid him in produce and chickens - small farming community in Minnesota.

My paternal grandmother was horrified, initially, by my name. She had been raised, in part, by an aunt, who was, allegedly, quite unkind to her. Her name? You guessed it - Aunt Martha.

I didn't intend to hijack your thread. I hope you don't mind. This has been an enjoyable exchange.
