A Flaming Letter
This is a note from somebody named Flaming. It is written to my Grandmother who she calls Aunt Helen. Pretty newsy and not very interesting. I assume Grandpa had died by now because she mentions that Grandma must miss Uncle John. I can't read the signature which is the person's first name. One other interesting thing is the mention of Corn, Oklahoma. This is the name of a town than I heard once in a while and I think it is where Olga's husband Bud was from. (Olga is my Dad's sister.) One other thing. Flaming is a very common name in the Mennonite community and among our relatives. However, I always thought it was spelled Fleming. Would have lost a lot of money on that one.
