  • Notes 


    • Personal Records, Maureen (Molly) McGUIRE COLSON:

      Nancy Jane was Hugh Bell's student before they were married. As you can see, there wasn't much difference in their ages. They later divorced. She rand boarding houses and a confectionary store here in Grants Pass, OR, to support herself. She was a very tiny woman who wore size 4 shoes. She saw great value in education and, because of her interest, my mother and aunts (Ramona, Pearl, Ernestine)
      attended high school while living in the town of Grants Pass with her. My mother, Ramona, loved her dearly.

      Greatgrandma Nancy loved adventures and was ready whenever the opportunity presented itself. Once when my mother was girl taking care of her little sisters while my grandparents sold fruit near Klamath Falls, OR., Greatgrandma was at the orchard for a visit. She talked Mamma into taking Grandma & Grandpa's car for a spin. Never mind that neither Greatgrandma nor Mamma knew any more about a car than how to ride in one. They did have a great time and got back home without mishap. I'm not sure they ever told Grandma & Grandpa. Pearl & Betty were probably too little to tell.

      Greatgrandma loved flowers, especially roses. After she died, my parents transplanted her rose garden to our house. She raised Banty chickens and their home was a chicken wire bear cage that had once sat in front of the theatre housing a cub bear. Greatgrandma's boarding house was on the NW corner of 7th & F Streets in Grants Pass.
