Details about my Grandma Betty... Her parents were Mennonite and her ancestors were Amish. Betty could speak German and did so frequently. Her favorite story to tell was about the time she was excommunicated from the church. Grandma would giggle and say, "I wore a red hat with a feather in it to service. It was the red hat that did it. Or, maybe it was that feather!" Such a rebel. (smile) After moving from Kansas to McDonald County, Missouri, grandma lived on Togi Prairie for years. The community thought the Honeymans were "up town" because they had real toilet rings in their outhouse. Little did they know that grandpa was a junk man and that he brought those with him from Wichita so grandma could be more comfortable. Grandpa and Grandma moved into Southwest City when the farm became too much for them. After Grandpa's death, Grandma began attending the Baptist Church in town and remained faithful until her death. The community remembers her as a giving person. One could not enter her house and leave without sitting down for a bite of something.
