She was a homemaker and babysitter during my twelve years there. She also was employed at McNeeley's Department store in down town Beloit (at least during Christmas time prior to my arrival), as she said that was where she had learned how to make bows. Prior to marrying Floyd, she had dated Ivan A. Johnson (son of Alvin N. & Flossie K. (Donyes) Johnson, who use to live on Highland St. in Beloit. I recall hearing reference to a "Grandma Johnson" but never could figure out how she was related. Now I know, it was not a blood connection, rather a friendship connection.
