Note | Lee Quarnstrom wrote about his grandparents: I do know that my mom and her parents, Ellis and Mayme Lee, came to Seattle in a Model T Ford from Montana, often having to use reverse gear to make it up steep hills on the "highway" west. I don't know whether Virginia, or even Norma, was born yet. In Montana Ellis was a barber, which he continued to be in Seattle, as well as a drummer in a jazz band, the operator of a pool hall and a player on a semi-pro baseball team. Mayme was, for a while, a post mistress in some small town in the same building where Ellis had his barber shop-pool hall. Mayme also taught at a one-room schoolhouse and my mother recalled riding to school as a very young child on horseback with Mayme and watching as her mother started a fire in the iron stove to heat the place and then sweep it out before the students arrived. For a while Mayme and my mother and perhaps Norma and maybe Virginia lived in a dugout with a sod roof on a plot they homesteaded. Mayme guarded the place with what she told me was her trusty five-shot Colt's revolver. |
