My great-grandmothers
Here's a photo of my two great-grandmothers on my mothers side. Their names are Sarah Catherine (Whicker) Gibson (left) and Elizabeth Katherine (Claxon/Claxton) Oliver (on the right).
A little story about Sarah C. Gibson. My mother told me that as she was getting older, she started getting more childlike - she used to play like she had something in her pocket and it was a little secret she had, and she used to giggle.
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Oliver my mother did not know quite as well. But she does remember her a little and she used to call my Uncle Bill (Oliver) pronounced it "Beelee".
