~~Following are excerpts mentioning Caroline in the book, Memories by Anna Caroline (Kennedy) Fisher, compiled by Roberta Julie Hutzler daughter of Anna's sister Helen Jean (Kennedy) (Davis) Girvan
I remember Grandma and her daughters (Hannah & Julia) would be talking –maybe gossiping a little –they would notice the little pitcher with big ears, who was listening, and suddenly begin to talk in Norwegian –it made me so mad! They didn't used to talk a great deal in their language, but I remember Grandma had an old gray cat –a mother cat– which she liked very much.
My Grandma Kennedy had lost all of her cattle the hard winter of 1886-1887. That was the winter I was born, at my Grandmas Winge's house, with both Grandma's in attendance, and without the aid of a doctor-- I was told. Both Grandma's were good nurses and mid-wives. ~~from Memories by Anna Caroline (Kennedy) Fisher, compiled by Roberta Julie Hutzler daughter of Anna's sister Helen Jean (Kennedy) (Davis) Girvan
"My other Grandma Winge, was plump, round faced, and young looking. I think she probably was several years younger than Grandma Kennedy. She was real nice looking, had snowy white hair, which had a sort of soft wave across the top., and she combed it straight back, and did it in a knob on the back of her head. She had very blue eyes and a fair complexion, and regular features. I saw her years after, when I was married, and lived in my own house. She and my Aunt Julie had come to visit my mother and her family. Grandma had gone to stay with Aunt Julie out in Utah, where Aunt Julie taught school, and her husband was school superintendent. My Uncle Alf had gone to Alaska, and Grandma was staying with Aunt Julie while he was gone. She wasn't quite so well as she had benn, and sometime during the next year or two, developed what the doctor designated as tuberculosis. She died when my first baby was tiny. Uncle Alf was still in Alaska, had moved on, and they couldn't find him. My mother went to Miles City, to Aunt Hannah's house to be with her mother. Grandma had returned to Miles City, and Aunt Julie was there too. They stayed till she died. When Uncle Alf came back from Alaska, soon after, he was shocked and surprised and grieved, to find his mother gone. They all felt very bad about it. My mother had been away from home for several weeks. My baby was only a day old when she left. When she could do no more for her mother, Mama came back--we were all glad to have her back. When Grandma was so sick, she dreamed about my baby, and talked about what a sweet little baby I had. ~~from Memories by Anna Caroline (Kennedy) Fisher, compiled by Roberta Julie Hutzler daughter of Anna's sister Helen Jean (Kennedy) (Davis) Girvan
