Note: According to Margaret DALRYMPLE CAMPBELL, in a letter dated June 20, 1980:
"...came to Detroit (after first being in Massachusetts with her mother and sisters Kate & Nellie) and went to business college and worked as a secretary for years. She and her good friend Maud CAMPBELL (no relation) lived in the Y.W.C.A. in downtown Detroit."
****************
Gramma lied about her age something awful. At one time we found papers (now gone) "proving" she was somewhere between 65 and 110. We concluded that she most likely gave the Social Security Administration her correct age. She worked nearly all of her life, including all the way through the Great Depression.
