This is a letter from my grandmother, Ruth Barry Ricketts, to her younger sister written in 1980.
She writes about where they lived growing up, and about the time after her mother, Annie Barthel Barry, passed away. It fell to grandmother to try and take her mother's place in the household, and it was such a strain that she had a stroke 2 weeks after Annie's passing.
She also says, "Brother (Erwin Barry) didn't talk till he was four hears old. The first thing he said was 'Look at the mule.' " Below is a picture of Mother and her parents, Donald and Ruth Ricketts, in front of their ouse in Hooks, Texas in the 1960's.
