Misc. Notes
Lillian’s middle name Hannah came from her maternal grandmother.41

Lillian is listed among the fifty students in Mrs. Murphy’s fifth grade class at Curwensville High School in this 1927 yearbook.211

The only one of her siblings to graduate from high school Lillian was a long-time resident of Hyattsville, Prince Georges County, MD from the late 1950s until the 1990s. She had taken a special course in Caligraphy as a young adult and was known by all she corresponded with as having beautiful penmanship. Unlike most of her siblings she and her brother Eli were long-time Republicans.212

Although she and I were very close while growing up I did not speak to my aunt Lil for many years, even prior to my mother’s death. But I know she resented that I followed my mother’s wishes to be cremated and not to have a memorial service.

I believe my aunt Lil purchased several headstones for members of her family, including the one for her brother Melvin.3
