The following is the personal recollections of EDITH (EYDIE) ELIZABETH MURRAY, ca. 2001.
Your Dad & Mom, uncle ALF (your gramps), your uncle HOWARD and ELSIE were all cherished by my Mom. I couldn't have been any more than 2 1/2 yrs when your Gramps first wife died (ELIZABETH MAUD OSWALD) and it must have had quite an impact on me ... I also remember uncle ALF becoming not nearly so humerous as he had previously been ... he was always joking. I think this marriage took its toll on your Dad and Uncle. Your Uncle was so lucky to have his music. BTW ... your Dad also used to be a real jokester, but from what I understand somewhere along the line, he became a mite bitter ... perhaps his Dad's marriage and memories of WW2 may have played a large part, but we'll never know. I particularly remember your Dad (who was pretty young) teasing me when I was very, very young.
I also remember how close Grandma & Uncle ALF (SARAH ELIZABETH and GEORGE ALFRED) were and how Grandma was always laughing. However, when Grandpa (ARTHUR W. THOMPSON) got ill with cancer and died (much too early), she was never the same and overnight changed into a very bitter woman. She used to try to rally, but Christmas was never the same after Grandpa died ... he was pretty terrific. We used to try to convince her to come to Woodstock for Christmas, but she never would; so it made it pretty difficult for Mom andDad (HAZEL ELLEN THOMPSON and DANIEL GILCHRIST MURRAY), us as well, as we were 3 young kids with lots of things to share during the season and used to accompany Mom and Dad to Courtland, but resented every minute of it. When Grandpa was alive, Grandma was the glue that held the whole family together and it was nothing for some cousin or other in crisis to land on her doorstep and I found it most fascinating ... I can also see a lot of my Gran in me ... totally sympathetic to anyone who's having a problem, equally as irresponsible when it comes to finances ... I've got it, I spend, or make sure my friends aren't suffering (and I used to get so mad at Gran for this) ... but really, its quite a terrific quality. I'll never die rich, but I'll be happy; and may be the last cheque I ever write, bounce!!!
