Obituary: MY GRANDMOTHERS STORY by Rori Contreras from an interview with her Grandma in 1993 My grandmother was born in 1915 and one of her earliest remembrances was 11, 1917. Her father was carrying her through the streets on his shoulders while people celebrated the Armistice at the end of World War I. The relief was so great to the nation and so many were killed that there was almost a hysterical reaction of joy that followed. Its interesting today to see in some families how different members have participated in three major wars. Somewhat earlier grandmas husband-to-be, experienced the Halifax Disaster. At that time a munitions ship blew up in the harbor, devastating an entire section of the city. Many were killed or injured and as a young boy, my grandfather had to go through the morgues to identify relatives. At the time many in his family were suffering from typhoid, but he was in another area with an elderly aunt and was not physically hurt. However, the memories stayed with him all his life. Grandma and her family lived in Buffalo, NY until she was about twelve. Her dad had died when she was four and her mother remarried. Life was normal for the times and she remembers a small pond in the back yard that froze in winter. She and her brothers would go skating on it and sledding on the ice covered streets. Life was pretty simple even in the city and crime wasn rampant as we know it now. There was no television and a movie cost ten cents. Grandma would go to the butchers to buy twenty five cents worth of baloney which her mother would fry with eggs for breakfast. Another sign of the times that life was frugal but good was that people were able to entertain themselves. She remembers her folks playing cards and her uncle giving her seventy five cents to buy candy and root beer for the whole family and this was a big occasion! The winters in Buffalo were often very severe. One year in particular my grandma remembers it was so cold that the Christmas tree in the sun porch was not taken down till Easter. That was the time it was a joy to get two oranges in your stocking for Christmas. Rag dolls, knitted mittens and scarves were big at that time. Caroling and Christmas Eve services were looked forward to. Times became increasingly hard in 1929 and there was little work. Bread lines began to form and people helped each other and shared what they had but my grandma can remember seeing homeless people on the streets like we have today. She can remember seeing men at the corners selling apples for five cents in order to earn pennies. Then tragedy hit her own family and her step father lost his job. Somehow she had never felt poor before although her father was only an ordinary worker. Times got worse and when he was promised work in California they decided to move. Great grandma never worked, it was a different world than it is today. The womens world was being a wife and a mother and her career was mostly in the kitchen. In that time clothes were boiled in a huge copper tub in the basement, they were rinsed and rung out by hand or put through a ringer, turned by hand. Later the clothes were hung on lines in the basement or in good weather, the yard. Sometimes in the early spring and the clothes were hung outside, a sudden freeze would cause the clothes to freeze stiff. It looked like Halloween with all the long underwear clapping in the wind. s were heated in those days by a furnace in the basement fired with coal. Grandma remembers how much fun it was when the delivery truck brought coal and delivered it with a chute through the window in the basement. the decision to move, the family sold everything they had and started out for California. Mother, father, the two brothers and grandma, surrounded by suitcases and boxes, started out. The running boards on the car also carried boxes as well as the carrier on the roof. To grandma and the boys it was a great adventure, following route 66 camping along the way and stopping at an occasional motel for a shower. In those days motels were no resemblance to todays stopping places. were mostly five or six tiny places in a row along the road. It was fun cooking on a lsmall stove over a fireplace. It wasn like today with recreational camping with all the best equipment. Grandma slept in a small tent with her parents and the boys slept in the car. had a large touring car which was equipped with eising glass windows for occasional cold. The tires were small and there were frequent blowouts or flats. The tires were patched and air hand pumped into them. These were Grapes of Wrath times and many others were on the highways looking for occasional work to buy gasoline and food. To grandmas family or at least to the children it was a great adventure. Upon arriving in California they went to Los Angeles where other relatives lived. The sunshine seemed like heaven, grandma said, after comparing it with Buffalo, but the sunshine turned to gloom when there was no work. Grandmas family lived with relatives for a short time. Her father finally got a job on the W.P.A. This was a work project organized by the government to give work to the unemployed. It was menial work on roads, etc. but it gave hope for better times. Grandmas memories were of early radio days when the whole family sat around the radio and listened to Amos and Andy, the black comedians. Sometimes they got up at 5AM to listen to continued... |
