 Prompt #40 (Oct 1 - Oct 7): "Longevity"- Leola Ethelyn Lowenberg Kalllman

My aunt Leola, the wife of my dad's brother Albin made it just over 100 years. I believe that is the record for our family. 

  

   Rest in peace Aunt Leola,

 From Amy Johnson Crow, a genealogist, far more experienced then I. "The data that we've accumulated in our genealogy software and in our binders and folders doesn't do a whole lot of good just sitting there. We need to do something with it." Each week she sends out a prompt to share a bit about an ancestor, collateral relative, or family friend.
