I have fond memories of my Great-Aunt Lennie. Aunt Lennie was born on the Rothwell Family Farm in Viola, Idaho in the later 1800's and had many Siblings, I am not certain of exactly how many. My undertanding is that most of the Rothwell Family are buried in the Viola, Idaho Cemetery.

My Great-Grandmother, Mary Jane Rothwell Hare, was a Sister to my Great Aunt Lennie.

Aunt Lennie was Married to her first Husband "Short" Vollmer who was 100% Russian, together, they lived on a small Farm outside of Viola, Idaho and had one Child together, Bobby Vollmer. When Bobby was only five years old, "Short" died of a ruptured appendix, this was a very traumatic time for both Aunt Lennie and Bobby.

Several years later, Aunt Lennie met and Married, Harve Lynd, whom had lost his first wife to Cancer. Together, Aunt Lennie and Uncle Harve lived on a Farm outside of Palouse, Idaho which Harve owned. I recall going to visit Aunt Lennie and Uncle Harve on the Farm at a very Young Age.

Another fond Memory I have of Aunt Lennie is that her and Uncle Harve eventually sold the Farm in Palouse, Idaho and moved to Joseph Street in Moscow, Idaho, across the street from my Maternal Grandparents, Fred and Myrtle Nelson, Aunt Lennie and Uncle Harve were an Aunt and Uncle to my Grandmother, Myrtle L. Nelson and my Grandfather, Fred E. Nelson.

On many occasions my Family, Jack and Diana Morse, Aunt Lennie and Uncle Harve were a Great-Aunt and Uncle to my parents, Aunt Lennie being my Mother's Grandmother, Mary Jane Rothwell Hare's, Sister, got together for Dinner's and Holiday Get-to-Gathers, eventually my Grandparents moved to Lewiston, Idaho.

I have fond memories of going to Aunt Lennie and Uncle Harve's house on Joseph Street in Moscow, Idaho, where my Parent's and Aunt Lennie and Uncle Harve would play Pinochle for hours. I remember vividly, Aunt Lennie, at intermission, whipping up a huge plate of small sandwiches to eat, they were always delicious. Aunt Lennie, afterall, cooked in the Kitchen's of several University Housing Facilities on the University of Idaho Campus, Moscow, Idaho, for years.

Uncle Harve passed away when I was in Middle School, I believe, from Cancer. Aunt Lennie eventually sold the house on Joseph Street in Moscow, Idaho and moved into an Apartment in Moscow. Lennie was always close to her son Bobby Vollmer and his Wife Lou and their two Children, her Grandchildren, Debbie and Johnny Vollmer, later their last name changed to Yates when Bobby and Delores got divoriced and Delores remarried. They lived in Oroville, California and I met them on more than one occasion.

Aunt Lennie passed away quite a few years ago and is buried in the Palouse Cemetery, Palouse, Washington, next to her first Husband, "Short" Vollmer.

Aunt Lennie was a wonderful person and I have lots of Memories of her.
