!HOBBIES: PLAYED JUICE HARP I asked my Aunt Alice about whether your grandparents lived on John and El len's farm. She said that near the end of Ellen's life, a couple lived with her and looked after her and my g randfather supported her financially. She lived in Restoule with my grandfather for about a year but there were t oo many women in the house and she decided she wanted to return Lake Dore to die. Alice doesn't remember hea ring who the couple were that lived with Ellen or whether it was in her house or someone else's house. She re calls that it was mentioned that Aunt Ellen's furniture was stored at someone else's house possibly while she w as in Restoule. Aunt Alice has no idea what became of Elizabeth (Smith) Pierce. Lizzy and my grandfather did n ot get along very well even though they were raised together; he did not make any attempt to keep in touch with he r. from Sharon Weller
