CEA LETTER 3 suggests strongly that 2376 is "Aunt Sallie*, but this could be wrong. Until reading

CEA LETTER 3 , I had always thought that Aunt Sallie was not a member of our family. I thought the 'Aunt' was a kind of courtesy title. But, I don't know where I got this idea.

I remember Aunt Sallie living with my grandmother in the 1940's in a house on the SW corner of 10th and Evergreen Streets in Durant, OK.

The two old ladies kept squirrels in a cage in the backyard, for what purpose I don't know. My mother was very concerned that I might play with them, be bitten and contract rabies.

After Aunt Sallie's death, my grandmother came to live with my mother in a house at 512 North 6th Street in Durant, OK. We moved into this house sometime before WWII ended in 1945, just when I don't know. I think it may have been 1944 when I started first grade. I think we moved so I could walk to school and come home for lunch. Grandmother died in that house (hospital?) in 1948.
