• Notes

  Sometime between the 1920 and 1930 census, husband Linnell has left the family. Annie converted to Christian Scientist church. I (James Irving) remember Grandma Foster. She would take the bus out to Natick (usually on a Saturday) and stop at the butcher shop in Natick to get fresh oysters. We would watch for her walking up West Central Street and when we saw her coming Mom would start heating the milk to make oyster stew for lunch. She probably did the same after we moved to Park Ave, but I remember her walking up West Central St. not Park Ave. We moved to Park Ave when I was in the 2nd grade so I am impressed I still have that memory. I think only Mom, Me, and Grandma liked oyster stew. Although I do remember that the Union Oyster House in Boston was one of Aunt Lorraine’s favorites. On some visits to Boston with her we would make a point to go there for lunch. Grandma had a crippled hand (don’t remember which) that Mom said was due to someone tried to steal her purse but she wouldn’t let go and fought off the purse snatcher. Mom (Laura Foster) believed that because she had converted to Christian Scientist she refused to go to a doctor to have the hand looked at. The result was that she had very little use of that hand and it was deformed.
