Vernon Work Myers’ Grandparents

(as told by Vernon Work Myers)

I remember a grandmother on my mother’s side.  I vaguely remember doing one thing.  I was about three years old and I dropped a flower pot on her foot.  I also remember being at the funeral.  There were two or three men standing around waiting to shovel dirt on her grave.  My grandparents lived in Pennsylvania.  They had a farm.

ELIZABETH PERKINS BUCHHEIT:  We went over to that place and the rain was coming down.  It wasn’t a very attractive place.  Lois had to drive over there and said that Dan’s folks came from here.  Your mother’s dad was a justice.

VERNON WORK MYERS:  Briefly.  He served as Justice of the Peace for a while.  I don’t know if he was elected but he was briefly Justice of the Peace.
