    Notes 
    • Carrie said that Mabee is French/Penn Dutch. When Grandma Julia Duncombe died, they were living on a farm in Woodland (on South Hill above Puyallup ). She was getting on the church bus to go to church and it rolled ahead, knocking her down. Her hip was broken and she died in the hospital.

      Evaline Rose Bixby nee Bandy's memories of her grandmother.

      Grandma:
      O'K! You asked about my grandmother and mother. It was only Grandma
      Duncombe that I ever knew. She was a pleasingly plump lady probably about
      my height. I remember her as somewhat a grouch or a crab. Belle remembered
      similar. After my mother was divorced from Belle and Milton's father, they
      lived with grandma and grandpa in southern California. My mother worked and
      grandma took care of Milton and Belle. She remembers grandma as bossy and
      cranky. so I guess I must come by it naturally, for I know I am bossy, but
      I didn't think too cranky. I only knew grandma as they came to visit or I
      spent a night with them at their Tacoma house when I was pre-school age. it
      was a big old three story Warehouser Lumber Company House facing the Puget
      Sound on a high hill overlooking the water. I was given the upstairs
      enormous bedroom with just a little furniture in it. There was a doll
      sitting on a child's chair that I remember pleasing me. There was a big
      window overlooking the water. The room was very dark after grandma tucked
      me in and left. There were searchlights that fanned across the window from
      the water front and I didn't know what they were and was terribly
      frightened. Grandma didn't put up with such nonsense. It was really scary
      to me. There were 3 or 4 of those big Wearhouser houses there in a row on
      the hill top. They had enormous yards with down-hill grass slopes and
      terraces going down to the street level. They got one house to live in for
      grandpa being the gardener for all of the places. The gardens were
      beautiful and immaculate as I remember, Grandpa mowed all of that sloping
      lawn with a hand push lawn mower. The shrubbery was pruned to perfection.
      Grandpa was an excellent gardener. I would like to see that house now. As
      I remember it was high ceilings, beautiful woodwork and moldings, Fireplaces
      in all of the rooms, including the bedrooms. There must have been indoor
      plumbing, but I don't remember that. There was a dumb-waiter that you could
      pull wood up from the basement for the fireplaces by a rope. Grandma always
      had a table cloth (white) on the big round oak dining room table and there
      was always a big china pot of somekind that she kept graham cracker in for
      Uncle Lorne and Grandpa. Later, Uncle Lorne bought 20 acres on the hill
      just above Puyallup. Grandpa and Grandma came out there to live with him.
      It was a little tiny old shack of a house, but Grandpa planted climbing
      roses around it and had big rows of blooming pinks on both sides of the path
      leading to the door. It was a beautiful little cottage in a fairy tale book.
      They hand dug a basement under that house. No electricity, nor indoor
      but an outhouse! Uncle Lorne hand dug a well and they pulled the water up by a
      rope. I think mom brought their laundry home to wash for them, maybe they
      had somekind of washer at first. Uncle Lorne caught a ride into Tatoma to
      work. On Sundays there was a Church Bus from the Temple Baptist Church in
      Tacoma that came out to pick them up so they could go to Church. One Sunday
      Morning as Grandma was boarding, the driver got up to help Grandma in and he
      hadn't set the brake or something--The bus moved and Grandma fell and broke
      her hip. She was in her 70's. She was taken to the hospital and they
      operated to repair the hip and she was full of cancer and they closed her
      back up and she died in the hospital 3 weeks later That is the story as I
      remember it being told. I was nine when she died. Grandpa stayed on with
      Uncle Lorne and cooked for him a few more years. Then after my father died
      the following year, Mom brought him out to live with us. So I was about 11
      when grandpa started living with us. My mother was in the State mental
      hospital the following year and Viola and I didn't take well to being bossed
      by grandpa, but he tried! I was 12 and rebellious. That is another story.
      From the time I was 10 and had a bicycle I rode the 3 miles to Uncle Lorne's
      house to bring his laundry home for us to wash, until Uncle Lorne came to
      live with us too. That was before grandpa died.

      I guess Mama is another tale.
