Dora, Luke, and Ben Part 2



Today, I'm going through some old genealogy files 
and I found this letter from Mildred Collins, 
with another funny story about our grandparents.
Those kids remind me of the Little Rascals!

I'll leave in the information on the dates
in case anyone needs them
* * *

If any of you print or copy this tree, 
here are a few more notes you may want to add: 

Dates of death include: Mary Josephine - October 8, 1950; 
George Lukes - August 13, 1964; 
Benjamin Harrison - April 11, 1963; 
Dora Agnes- May 20, 1982. 

Austin and Emma died of typhoid fever. 
I think Grandaddy nearly died too 
and there is a now-funny story about Uncle Ben, Aunt Dora, 
and Grandaddy 
(on his first foray out of bed after nearly dying) - 

It was time for Aunt Dora's organ teacher to arrive 
and she had NO intention of sitting down for that lesson. 
Instead, they all went out to play.
They happened on to some green apples and ate several....
Grandaddy passed out 
and the two siblings just knew they had killed him off. 

Dora and Ben dragged his body home 
and they all had a good laugh after he revived.
