Dear Amos and Pauline,
It was very nice talking to you two this last Nov.
I’ll write you what I know. My dad was in Portland from 1906 (if he came there the same year as Florence Crawford did.) I’m not sure what year they divorced and I don’t know who or when she, Florence, was married before she married my dad. But my mother and dad were married in Portland 12/12/12 and I was the youngest child, born 8/20/18. My mother’s name was Elizabeth Hannah Fish Crawford. She felt my dad was free to marry because his first wife, Florence, was married before and had a living mate.
My mother wouldn’t marry my dad until his mother died. She was an atheist and when she died she let out a blood curdling scream as if she saw hell.
When my father died we let the LA Apostolic Faith take the funeral since he had been to the Camp meeting that year. Johnie was a pallbearer but I didn’t meet him then.
Love in Christ, Grace
