Grace was country lady who spent much of her life on the Duncan family farm outside of Roscoe, Texas. She married Arlon Wayne Orman on July 14, 1925, in Yoakum, Texas, and had two sons, Arlon Wayne, named after his father, and Floyd, named after hers. As a girl, she rode her horse sidesaddle.
In addition to living in Roscoe, she and her husband also lived in south Texas in Beeville and Corpus Christi. She had many nieces and nephews but particularly favored her nephew Edwin. She always served him his favorite Vienna sausages when he came to visit. His daughter, Mary Grace, was named after her.
She also liked dogs and kept a Jack Russell terrier named Bobby, who kept the barn rats at bay. In the morning, growing up, the kids had to do chores in the dark before breakfast. Her chore was milking the cows and her brother, Everett, had to feed the mules. They then had a large breakfast and rode in a buggy to school.
When she was grown, she still fed the cows every morning and she would squirt milk into Bobby's mouth. She'd carry the heavy bucket of milk to the house and counter the weight by holding her other arm straight out. My dad, as a little boy, thought this was the way to carry things. He would carry things with his arm out, even if it wasn't heavy. He just thought that was how you had to carry things!
