Notes
a. Note:   Irene, youngest of two surviving sisters, was relatively small in stature and suffered her entire life with asthma. Nonetheless, she was strong in many ways and gave birth to six children, five of whom survived .
  Like her husband, she only attended a few years of public school and married George a few months before her 20th birthday. To my knowledge, she never worked outside of the home, at least not after her marriage, but worked every day indeed taking care of a house, five children, and cooking three meals a day.
  As life advanced, in the late 1950's Irene began to show signs of Alzheimers or what we called in those day's "hardening of the arteries". While every effort was made to care for her at home, she was finally placed in Cherry Hospital in Wayne Co., NC sometime during late 1969 or early 1970 and she died there in 1970 of a heart attack after only a few months.
