• Notes

  In an article written during Goldie's stay at Bethesda Care Center, Rawlins or, Laramie, WYO, Goldie told interviewers that she had been born near Stanford, KY. She received her education in OK and taught school at age 16. She met and married L. Dunn in Texas, and she later went to WYO, where she managed several hotels. Then, she stated, that due to failing eyesight, she ended up becoming employed as a radio dispatcher for Teton Yellow Cab Co, in Rawlins, WYO. Eva and Dad, Charles, always thought maybe she was a "lady of the night," as when family ever went to visit her, she always met them at a cafe, post office, etc., never at her own residence. In letter dater 30 Apr 1985 to Eva Sanders. In part, "bringing back old memories...like when Grandma moved Grandpa Jarvis to an old Peoples Home in Anderson. He always was an ambishous (sp) man. He had a gasoline buggy. (Eva corrected to say electirc). Grandma was afraid to ride with him. (ha) and they stopped him running it. Afraid he would hurt himself. Now I could add a lot to the story, Grandpa always had the finest of everything. In Ky, he had two fine balck horses and surry, as they called a two seated buggy. Come flying down the Pike road. We kids were delighted as they always brought fruit and candy to us. At one time he was a high up Mason. But he quit that when he joined at the Gospel Trumpet Home Bunch and taught us to call his daughters Aunt Ola and Mary. And Papa enjoyed all of them. Now Aunt Ola even visited us in Decatur, IL. Uncle Tom Russell went by our house, a little farm at the edge of town. We thot that Uncle Tom was great, he always gave us things and Papa clothes. Anyway they were the good old days. .." "Uncle Tom was engineer on Wabash RR and ran by our house." In other letter for Round Robin, Goldie said she had married Lloyd twice.
