Alta played the piano for the congregation at the First Baptist Church in Aledo, IL.
She and Uncle Berne had a small dog in their home, possible a pug, that lived to be an old age.
Berne and Alta had one son, Terry, who was probably born near 1945-1950. He was married and had children. He lived in another state. I remember Alta expressing her love for the grandchildren.
Alta had a sister, Mrs. Lloyd, who looked very much like Alta. Mrs. Lloyd attended the Antioch Baptist church (Marston) west of Hamlet Perryton Presbyterian Church, North of Aledo. I remember talking with her when my children attended Bible school there (we attended Hamlet Perryton Presbyterian church and we went together with Antioch Baptist for Bible school).
