Martha's Daughter -- Joann Newman Hi Richard. Good to hear from you Debbie told me that you may be sending me an e-mail.Today I was on the family web page. I remember a lot of the names. It really amazes me how things happen. How Debbie just showed up on my door step one day. Let me tell you a little about me. My life has had a lot of ups and downs. The hardest thing was finding out the truth about how Martha was really my mother. Georgette told me this when I turned 16 and Martha passed away before I was able to find out who my real father was. I had to struggle through a lot of depression due to losing Peter, Henry, Armond (Martha's husband) Georgette and Martha herself all in a 7 year span. I felt very alone with my 2 boy's, Eric and Donny. Georgette and Henry were not exactly very close to the family so I never really got to stay connected. When Debbie found me then we found the family history book and found Claudine and Roland only then did I begin to realize a lot of the reasons why we never got together with family. Henry wasn't a very pleasant man when he was drinking of course I lived with all that. I married at a very young age 17 and had Donny Miller on Dec.19, 1976 later divorced. I married again and had my second son Eric Morgan July 27, 1983. That only lasted a few short years. I stayed alone for a while being single-mom and taking care of Georgette when she got cancer. I kept her home until the day that she died. We became very close, then I had to lose her. She loved her Grandchildren so much. Later I lived with someone for 9 years who amazingly enough was an alcoholic. Why I stayed so long I do not know. That relationship finally ended and I have met and Married the man of my dreams George Newman. Donny has married and divorced. I have a beautiful granddaughter Haily Rose Miller born Aug.5 1995. I have worked at Polyclad Laminates for 11 years I am a supervisor. I am currently going back to school at 43 to get an associates degree in business management. We live in Danbury N.H. RR1 Box 19C Waukeena Lake RD. We own a beautiful house over looking the lake. Well that's all for now. I have a scanner. I'll send you some pictures and hope to hear from you soon. Joann
