Grace grew up in Iowa the only daughter in a home of boys and her mother, busy as an evangelist in Council Bluffs, expected lots of help from her. She did not enjoy all this work and rushed to finish her chores. Once forgetting to leave an opening in the front of her brother's new pants. Because of all of her practice, she learned to be very skilled at sewing. She lived in several different Iowa towns as she was growing up. Grace married Harvey DeLong twice. Theirs was not a happy marriage. He had a very bad temper. Her mother in law advised her not to try to stop him when he got into his "spells" so when he started throwing her new wedding china, she just started handing him the dishes. He was so stunned he stopped. Though they divorced, she adored her in-laws and maintained a very close loving relationship with them until the day they died. She had a family of four children with her first husband Harvey.
After divorcing Harvey she married the love of her life, Otto Roberts. They had a very long and happy marriage. They had no children. She did not live a boring life. Having grown up in Iowa, which was the city and then, moving to Indian Territory was hard. Living in Nebraska was a tough life. It was wild untamed country in her day. She did not fit in with her Danish in laws. They thought - she needed to be Danish. She once had to save her grandchild from being trampled by wild horses racing through her yard.
I was told that she was the most wonderful grandmother. She was lots of fun and full of energy - except at her nap time, every afternoon, - you were not to make a sound then! She loved to fish and was deadly afraid of storms. She loved her family.
