When Ada and Mitt lived in Everton, she would often take the train on weekends to visit her parents, just a short distance by train, to Pennsboro. Her daughter Verna fondly remembered these trips. Her grandfather would meet them with the team of horses, one white, one black, to take them to their farm. Her dad "Mitt" had dinner ready for them when they came back home to Everton, he was known to make especially good biscuits.
Ada was a talented seamstress, taught by her mother Luvenia, and a wonderful homemaker. She made many beautiful quilts that her great grandchildren still enjoy to this day. Her daughter Verna learned how to keep a neat and tidy home in a small space from her, and how to master the home cooking she loved to share with others.
