Uncle Hip and Aunt Ernestine


I took these snapshots in 1945.  The man standing on the right is Hilburn Arthur.  I never knew him as anything except Uncle Hip.

Below is Aunt Ernestine.  She was one of Daddy's older sisters. She always had a smile on her face.  And she kept chewing gum in her purse and always offered me some.

Aunt Ernestine taught me to knit.  And one time she made a whole wardrobe of beautiful doll dresses with hats for one of my dolls.

She had the most comfortable lap I ever slept in.  And late in life she gave me a real down comforter which I still have to this day.
