Note:
She grew up in South Dakota homsteaded in sod shanty.
Took care of her Grandmother Sarah Ann Patterson Beckner in Webster City (Sarah died of breast cancer). That is where she met her husband Martin Stearns. He helped her when she dropped her groceries.

Lived near Pierson, Iowa where Martin worked on a farm.

Then they moved to Wisconsin and in 1936 to Washington where her brothers already were working in the saw mill.
Here is where her husband Martin died of pneumonia in 1937 (before penicillin was discovered).
Wrote a letter to her best friend Harmka Huisman (my other Grandmother) when her husband died. She did not know how she would be able to go on now that her husband was gone.

After Martin died the children were often left with there Aunt and Uncles while she worked. Mary did volunteer work for the Red Cross making bandages and getting prepared in case there was an attack on Washington State.

Moved to South Dakota to help care for her father and stayed there until he died. Moved to Missouri by her sister Maria for a while and then to Wisconsin. Norma and Ruby Graduated from High School in Wisconsin. Lyle joined them after he returned from the Navy.

Moved with Ruby to Rock Island, Illinois when Ruby went to work for Lois and Lillian Spickler at Spickler Bookkeeping. She and Ruby were living in Rock Island when she died.

Grandma did much crocheting and taught me to crochet when I was 6 years old. I love to crochet to this day. She sewed and did embroidery. Have an apron she made with cross stitches on gingham. She had a note book where she keep track of family information. She was an avid letter writer after she moved to Illinois we got one or two letters a week and my father called them the Rock Island Weekly as they were long letters telling what she was doing and other relative news.

When we would go to visit as children we always went to Monkey Island. Lillian and Lois were both pilots and so we got our first airplane rides when quite young. She had some old dishes from different ones in the family. Then there were the old charcoal drawings (taken out of their frames) of her Grandparents, these had hung in her parents house in South Dakota; copies of these are on their memorial pages.

A folding rocker from her Grandma Sarah Ann Patterson and it had belonged to her mother Hannah Quick Patterson.

When we were young she got us dolls and then sewed and crocheted doll clothes for them.

She read daily in her Bible and it was her instruction book for living.
