Rita (Sexton) Cooley conversations (1) From conversations with Rita Sexton Cooley:The moved as a family to Chicago where William worked as an Insurance Adjuster. They think it was about 1930 or so, and they moved back about the middle of 1934 after he lost a job. Uncle Lester took care of the proper they owned inMpls. Went to school at St. Thomas on 44th in mpls/edina. Frannie was born in 1935, then they broke up shortly after that and he moved back to Chicago. Mother didn't want to move again. He couldn't get a job in Mpls. Mother had run outof money and William divorced her. Mother was going to fight it, she owned a house in her name on Washburn (Rita remortgaged it for $3400 and paid off the debt). William sued for the house because he wanted to sell it. This was afterRita and Frank were married. Judge took the attorney's into the judges chambers. Rita contended that noone would get any money until someone paid her for taking care of her mother and her sister. She was taking care of both of them so noone could get the house until she was paid. The judge threw it out of court. After William remarried he sued to get custody of Frannie. Frannie was a ward of the state in Rita's custody. Marguerite was Lutheran. Bob's first wife was Rose and all the kids he had were with her. Aggie is Bob's second wife. He was mayor of Buffalo MN for a time.Mother had high blood pressure and had a hard time with stress. She was on medication. She had a stroke March 11, 1945. She came out of it, dragged her right foot. She had an operation sympathectamy(?) to cut the sympathetic nerve which will relax her but she never really recovered. She went out with a friend and then had another stroke and she died Sept. 12. Frannie looks and acts very much like mother. Rita can cook but can't seem to bake anything. Frannie could bake. Mother (Marguerite) was a brilliant person and a great bridge player - could have been a tournament player. She would play all day long.Chistmas holiday and they were over at Grandma's (Dad's mother - Ann Mooney) who was living with Auny May and Uncle Tom Mooney's. Great-grandma (Bridget) was there in her rocking chair, didn't talk too much and in her late 90's. Here wasthis little woman with her corn cob pipe. Tom Mooney lived across the street on Lyndale (2900 block) from Edward Sexton whose Livery Stable was later turned into a garage. Ann was a very nice, lovely lady and she would always model hats at church. She always had to have a cigarette.Frank Cooley's Dad (Frank Sr.) was a great Poker player. Very precise person, everything had to be just right - his mother was just the opposite. One night they cooked lamb and she just enjoyed it so much. They didn't tell her untillater and she was mortified. When she was dying she kept thinking that Frank was her husband which made her real husband very mad. Frank's Dad died of lung cancer. He lived in Burlington Iowa and he worked for 55 years for Goodman andEaston(?) and he traveled on the road for 40 years selling furniture from Colorado to Michigan. He traveled by train. Every 6 weeks he would come for for a weekend. Frank was born in Burlington and then moved to Iowa City for a year andthen to Mpls because it would cut his Dad's trip length. His biggest sale he ever made was to a Whorehouse in Taleride CO. Every room had a bed, dresser and a chair. Frank and Rita could go down to Burlington to pick out whatever theywanted. He was in his 70's and he bought a Cadillac in the 1950's and he was so excited he could hardly stand it. He use to drive a Buick when he was selling because nobody but a fool would drive up to someone to make a sale in anything then a Buick - certainly not a Cadillac. Rita and Frank owned a valient for many years, and then they gave it to Lynnie. Frank use to wear green because his mother was from Scotland and his Dad's family was from Co. Armagh. Didn't he have German in him? No way according to Frank because there's no way he comes from German descent! Rita found out later that she was Norwegian but Rita said 'why didn't you ever tell me we were Swedish!' but she said you aren't Swedish you are Norwegian. Rita still has a butter dish that Horace Archer gave his wife when they were married as a wedding present. Haviland china from the plant that was destroyed in WW1. Dish must be from the 1880's or 1890's.
