My mom always talked about staying with her grandma. That grandma would be 161 years old today. Her birthday. She's the one on the left. Mathilda Deterding Donjon (1862-1940) #Genealogy
@poemblaze morning Matt 😝👩🦰
@redsheri1 Good morning! That picture is well over 100 years old. She was unable to walk after 1915. That's the only picture we have that shows her standing.
@poemblaze that’s amazing. My grandma lived into her 90’s got married at like thirteen amazing how resilient they were back then.👩🦰
@redsheri1 Even in a wheelchair she did gardening. She had raised flower/vegetable beds. Squares of railroad ties filled in with soil.
@poemblaze that’s awesome same my grandma and her hubby gardened with canes until their death. Unreal. I be lucky if I leave my bed at that age.
