1935 Letter From Tesla, WV

Recently, I have come across a November 30, 1935 letter from my Grandmother Constance Estella Warwick McGill's GWIN cousin, dated November 30, 1935, Tesla, West Virginia, and mailed to Mrs. Wm. McGill (Constance), in Alva, Oklahoma.

It begins, "Dear Cousin Connie, Guess you will be surprised to receive a letter from one of your W. Va. cousins. I wanted to ask you about your mother.

"Some time ago I had a letter from my son who is located near Charlottsville, Va. We had been visiting some of the folks near Vanderpool, and in some way had heard that Aunt Siggie had died a year ago (1934). I did not understand that the news of her death had come direct from you folks, so thought perhaps it was a mistake.

"I would like to hear from you concerning her. I did not tell my dad what I had heard. Just thought I would wait until I heard from you.

"Mother and dad are getting quite old. Both in eighty. Mother has been in a wheel chair for years, and a month ago dad fell and broke a bone in his leg. He hobbles a little on crutches, but is getting better, think he'll be all right in time.

"My youngest brother (Walton L. Tinney) and his wife are here at home. I am here. Have been a widow for 12 years. I have 6 sons. Two married, one in Virginia and three are here. My baby is nearly 16 and I have twins 18 years old.

"I made my first visit to Virginia last summer a year ago. Only stayed two weeks, would liked to have stayed longer but could not. Would like to hear from you. Hope you and family are well.

Your cousin, Mrs Ethel G. Tinney, Tesla, W.Va."
