Notes: Aunt Irene was Uncle Albert Savell's first wife. She died while I was a small child, about 4 years old, but I do remember what a kind person she was. I remember how she loved her chickens and I remember their nests on the outside wall of the hen house. I can remember her setting me up on the tractor with her. The last memory I have of her was that I was standing by my Mother's knee as she was seated across from Aunt Irene's casket and looking at the ferns on a wreath at the foot of her coffin. I made the remark to my Mother that they looked like Christmas flowers and she explained what they were and that they were there for the funeral. She was a beautiful, sweet woman.
