She has many happy memories of the early days, including the many times when she and her sisters and brothers would walk to town barefoot.' When they approached the city limits, they washed their feet in the river so they would be presentabla for cathechism lessons at old St. Patrick's church. Abojat fifty years ago the family moved to a residence on the corner of John and Fourth street and there she helped her mother operate a boarding and rooming house.
