NOTE: The newspaper shows her middle name as Arlane. Velma's mother claimed that they spelled her name wrong on her birth certificate and it should have been Erline. Velma was my grandmother.
The picture above of my grandmother was taken at her place of employment. She worked at a grocery store in Central City, the Apple House. I believe I remember her bosses name was Mr. Deason who owned the business.
