Cousins, Delores and Wilma with Little Betty asher father, John Lester, observes.
Four Square Quilt Block
Betty grew up in a small four room home on Scheller Avenue, next to the Catholic Church in Sellersburg. Her mother, Ruby, was a shy reserved person and her father had a bigger than life personality that made everyone love him. Their home was filled with laughter, but devastation hit the family when Betty’s father died unexpectedly from pneumonia. She was nine. Betty had fond memories of her loving father. She remembered him blowing smoke in her ears to cure ear aches and walks downtown on Saturday nights. One night they shopped at the local furniture store and purchased a child’s table and two chairs that Betty has cherished. The sweet memory still sits in her dining room where many generations of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren have continued to play.
