ST LOUIS OBIT
Gully, Mamie-On Sunday, Oct 25 1931 Beloved wife of Harry Gully, mother of
Emma, Imogene, Verna Mae, Betty, Myrtle, Grace, Harry Jr and Jordan Gully,
our dear daughter, sister, daughter-in-law and aunt. Funeral will be
Tuesday 8:30 am from McLaughlin's parlors, 2301 Lafayette. Funeral services
2pm at Christopher Ill.


After her death Harry could not take care of the children and work so they
were placed in an orphanage. He first tried to put them in the Lutheran
orphanage but they required the children be baptised and Harry was Baptist
and refused. So he put them in the Christian orphanage which charged $40 a
month for 8 children. Harry didn't always have the money so he would do
odd jobs for the orphanage to pay for it. Harry told Emma she was the
oldest so she had to see each of her siblings every day to make sure they
were ok, so she arranged to have chores so she could see them all. When
Harry married again, the kids were brought home two at a time, oldest and
youngest over several weeks.
