It has been almost four years since I wrote my last blog post about my Grandma Eva's mystery life before she married my grandfather. So for those of us (myself included) who need a brief recap, here goes...
The family story, and the starting point for my research, was that at a young age Grandma Eva was sent away from her home in Hartwell, Georgia to live with her grandmother Parham and work at the boarding house that Grandma Parham owned and ran in Elberton, Georgia. While she was in Elberton, Eva met and married a young man and they had a baby together. My parents thought the baby's name was Bonnie. No one knew the name of Bonnie's father. Eva's husband left her at some point, and afterward Bonnie got very sick. Eva had no one to help her with getting medical care for Bonnie, and Bonnie eventually died and was buried in Elberton.
Well, that's part of the family story. I will now share... (in my best Paul Harvey voice) the rest of the story.
