• Notes

  This story was added to the profile page of Ruby Ellen Fodge on March 20, 2010 by her Great Niece Carrie Pool. "Aunt Ruby was my Grandpa Fodge's sister. I remember that we drove to Southern California to visit her when she was really ill and near her death (I was born in 1960). It was so very very hot, I believe it was the summer of 1963. My Grandpa and Grandma Fodge (William Newton Fodge) drove us from Oregon to see his sister before she passed. I recall that she would lay in her bed with her window pulled up to open it so a little black boy from the neighborhood could come and sing songs to her from under her window. He came every Sunday after church and would sit underneath her bedroom window and would sing the songs he had sung in church that day. I played with him in the yard and tried to "wash" all the black from him. He was so patient and let me hose him down. I was only 3 and remember it fairly well.".
