Charles Edmund Sawyer

After Charles death Ione came to live with my grandfather,
who was widowed by then, and my mother and I at 509 Adams St.
Wausau Wi. about 1947. She rented the upstairs apartment and since my
mother worked full time she hired Ione to watch me. She taught
me how to play canasta and darn socks. We would listen to Arthur
Godfrey in the morning and soap Operas in the afternoon on the radio.
After my grandfather came to live with my mother and I in 1956 in
Lansing, Michigan, Ione went to live with her daughter Susan in Cincinnati, OH.
