Notes: Grandma Sweet as I called her, was a lady who live down the road from our house. She told my mother that a little girl always needed a Grandma within walking distance,hence she became Grandma Sweet to me.I called her that until the day she passed away. The house that she and Grandpa Sweet lived in is still there on the Marble River Hill today.The barn is gone. They had a horse that I rode when I was 2 years old. His name was Duffy.
