Aunt Estelle

I found out today that Aunt Estelle passed away...
I thought I'd share a story
Uncle Garth had to ask her quite a few times to marry her before she said yes. He borrowed a car from a friend and he, aunt estelle and grandmom who was 14 at the time road to Gaffney SC where he married her (no waiting in that town) then he drove the girls back and took the car back and walked back from his friends house it must have been far away because for some reason I think he said it took two hours... lol.
Aunt Estelle said she didn't want to go off and marry some boy she'd spend her whole life with boys and she was right I think there was 17 kids in her family and only one sister the oldest. At one point it was her and 12 boys at home... So Uncle Garth had to win her over I guess. lol
