The first I knew came from outside sources. I have often wished they had been more open with me about it. Never-the-less, I can say ...that I have been told by outsiders that I came from a good family. I have always tried to do right and good. I can say I was taken into a loving family and no partiality was ever shown by either of my parents. I would say I was brought up by a very good clan of people and all my close relatives loved me just as much as Elsie. I always loved my litle siser. I really don't know if my parents ever told Elsie anything or not, but she never mentioned it. "
