"Grandmother had a remarkable mind. She did not speak much, but when she did you wanted to hear; an original and wide awake woman who knew what was going on in the world while she stayed at home and made it possible for others to go. She knew flowers and knew the stars and loved her garden beds that she tended herself until later days forbade." - Louise Celestia (Mead) Feltus
