Mary Ann Lacey Green Barnett by Irene T. Crowther
Sketches From The Life Of
MARY ANN LACEY GREEN BARNETT
My Great Grandmother
by Irene T. Crowther
Small, slender, a slight stoop to her shoulders, she was ninety years of age, a little white lacy cap on her head, skirts and sleeves long, a white collar around her neck and a brooch pinned beneath her chin, a long white apron with lace on the bottom, insertion and tucks adorning near the bottom, tied around her waist; or when she was working a colored calico apron replaced the white one. I remember clear piercing eyes, but I cannot recall hearing her speak but of course she did very well.
Whenever I saw her she was busy making quilt blocks by hand, (my parents had a quilt she made when she was near ninety) mending clothes and household linens for Grandma Thurgood, or Aunt Edith, Grandma Thurgood's daughter, helping about the house or preparing meals.
