Personal Notes:
"Mom, ( Granny to our kids ) and her sister Nelda were the best chicken fryers that I ever knew. I can remember as a child visiting Aunt Nelda in Greenville, Il. She raised her own chickens (as most did back then in the 1950-60's ). In the morning she would pick out 1-3 chickens from coop, behead them, clean them and soak them and we would have the best chicken ever for supper that night along with the BEST chicken gravy ever.
--Mom
