Note: Mary Ellen Falkman Mary was a very strong willed woman. She loved her family very much and protected them. She and Herman lived at 1001 N. Long. The house was owned by her parents. After her mothers death her father stayed on at the house. She and Herman dad two children, Beatrice and Allen. During the war (WW II) both Bea and Allen's wife lived with Mary at that address. After the war the house was sold and Mary and Herman lived at Austin & Jackson. I can remember as a small child going out with my grandfather (Herman) into the park and chasing golf balls. From there they moved to Washington and Lockwood. Where they lived for quit a long time. After that they moved in with their daughter Bea. In Oak Park.
Nannie (Mary) as we called her remained a strong influence in the family for the remainder of her life. The last couple years she spent in a home, in the city. It is with fond memories that I remember my grandmother and all that she stood for.
