I wonder if that is true of people's names. The reason I am wondering is because I have a dear friend named Elsie. She is one of those individuals you ihank your lucky stars for every day that you have made her acquaintance. I have known two very special Elsie's, one of whom was my maternal grandmother. Grandma's full name was Elsie Fredona Storm Fields. The fact is that all the Elsie's I have known had that wonderful loving disposition that makes you feel good just being in the room with them. Each time I have conversation with my friend, Elsie I think of my Grandmother Elsie who married her husband Frank Fields on April 4,1906 by Probate Judge A.L. Patohin in me town of Oberlin, County ofDecatur, Kansas. Elsie was of the mature age of 17 years and her groom was nineteen years old- I was Grandma Fields' first grandchild and she made me feel oh so special. She was small in stature and had coal black hair, and a quiet, gentle voice. Grandma's father died before she was born and her mother died one year later when Elsie was only one year old. Grandma was taken into her father's sister's family and reared with her Miner cousins. There has always been a mystery about Grandma Elsie's maternal family. Many speculations have been made about her ancestry. Where did her wonderful black hair come from? One of these days perhaps a genealogy search will reveal more other family background. IfDNA testing is ever needed, I have a coal black braid other hair saved away. Somewhere along in her life Grandma Fields taught herself to ingful words and sentences full of play a pump organ.
