Elsie was my great Aunt, and played the piano at our church when I was young. Her husband Richard always drove a Rambler station wagon. She raised cacti in greenhouses behind her house on James Road in Charlotte. I remember having a bonfire party for the church youth at her house once, when I was very young. I chased toads around the pump house in her yard that night. As Aunt Elsie got older, she got shorter, until she was only about 4'8" (a guess) when she passed away. She was a kind and loving lady.
