The for another ancestor. This time my mother’s mother, Marion Vera Hurlburt. She was born in Mendon, Vermont and died just a few months short of 100 years later in Southampton, Massachusetts.
In the intervening place she did a lot and lived in many places. At least eight states and two countries. High School in Maine. College in Ohio. Nursing School in Rhode Island. Followed her husband’s ministries in Maine and Ohio before he died young leaving her a single mother with two children and pregnant with a third (my mother). Then a full career as a nurse in various locations in Vermont, including 16 years as the nurse in residence for a residential school for children in need.
Then as soon as the last of her children (my mother) graduated college, she left the country to be a missionary nurse in Turkey for five years in her 60’s. Finally she retired to Massachusetts in 1973. And of course it is there that I visited her many times as a child, through to the last years of her life a few years back.
