This picture is of Henry Orth on the left, my dad Lawrence in the middle, and Charles Orth on the right. The photo
was taken sometime about 1915.
While I was growing up, Aunt Kate lived at about 145 Groh Street with her son Charles. She had two older boys;
Henry, an electrical engineer who lived in Chicago, and Clarence who lived in Nashville.
Charles suffered from
diabetes. He worked as a freelance concrete sub-contractor, but spent most of his time hunting, fishing, and trapping.
I spent many happy hours hunting with Charles.
Clarence worked for the GooGoo candy company in Nashville and
eventually became the plant manager, a position he held until he retired.
Aunt Kate's daughter, Mary Josephine, was
married and lived on Berger Street below the Sacred Heart Church with her family.
Aunt Kate lived simply. She
never had a refrigerator, prefering an ice box. The ice was delivered daily to her door.
This is the type of ice box Aunt Kate had in her house. She hung an ice sign (like this one) on her front porch
every day indicating (by the orientation of the sign) how much ice the ice man should leave for her that day.
She had
two large pecan trees in her yard and I always looked forward to eating pecans at her house.
