Grandma Gordon was very jolly and quite a talker. She sat in front of the fire in her rocker and talked. She knew everybody in the whole country, it seemed, and knew all about who married who, who was kin to who, dates of most happenings and everybody's kids!
She was a fairly smooth talker - the words just flowed. She was the "story-teller" type. She would spoil the kids and was always on our side!
Grandma Gordon was a heavy set woman and walked with a cane. She may have had bad knees. She always wore a long dress with her ankles barely showing. She sat in her rocking chair a lot and I remember that she made a lot of quilt tops. She made quilts for each of her granchildren to have when they married.
She, like Grandma Paxson, rotated staying with the families of her children. I don't know who she was living with when she died. ~ Memories of Robert Paxson Gordon
