MO d/c 13669—The dates I used were from the death certificate, note the marker is different.
=========
Bertha Winifred Kellogg was born September 24, 1882 on the farm near Lakenan, Mo.
On Sunday morning she took us to Sunday school and to church at Lakenan; Merle, Wyletta and I. She drove one horse to the buggy.
Once Aunt Winnie visited Aunt Stella in Canada and they took her to see Niagra Falls. She brought back a pretty basket of shells and stones she gathered on her trip.
Aunt Stella played the organ too, and often sang for us. She had a lovely soprano voice and sang in the church choir at Lakenan. She was very petite and pretty.
While young, she and Jim Sherry, a younger brother of Uncle Herb, planned to be married but Jim died of tuberculosis and for years Aunt Winnie never dated.
When about forty years of age Aunt Winnie was married to John Moore, a poor widower with four little daughters. She took good care of the little girls and about one year later had a baby daughter of her own, Gladys.
When Gladys was about a year old, Aunt Winnie died. This was April 1924; she was 42 years of age. An older half sister by another of John's marriages, took Gladys and cared for her until the time when John and his young daughters could care for her. Gladys now lives in Nebraska and has three children of her own.
