the morton family

Collective memory -- the concept of group remembering. Leroy Malmos has joined the group, telling about being a kid in Table Rock. He lived here in the early 1940s and after that often visited his grandparents Joe & Emma Morton and Uncle Herman. Here about the day the pigs came in the house, why grandpa didn't drive motorized vehicles, Uncle Herman's new tractor, and more.

Collective memory -- Kim Vrtiska has joined the group. After seeing Leroy's video, Kim Vrtiska posted: "I remember Herman bought a street motorcycle probably not long before he died and he kept laying it over. Dad and I went by one day and he had built training wheels for it out of 2 bike cycle tires and attached it to each side to keep him upright."
Kim's cousin Jerry then joined in: "Yep. He bought a car one time, he got it home but couldn't figure how to start it. My dad had to go up and show him what to do. Dad just got home and his mom called and needed dad to go back up and show him. Also, Herman would bring a baby pig in the house several times when we were there so I could hold it.

There may be a Morton in this photograph, which is Photo 647. The tag on front of the photo says,
“1907. Charlie Chambers, Clyde Barnard, Harry Freeman Irene Freeman, Charlie Norris. Chambers Place 2 blocks west of fountain.” On the back of the photo, it says: “The ________ photo of trees on south edge of sidewalk abutting on Lots 7 and 8 of block 30, Table Rock, NE. Taken July 4, 1907. South edge of said lots. ______ F. Wilson.” (Wilson was probably the photographer.) In different handwriting at the bottom, the identifies of the people in the photographs is again stated. But the writer equivocates at the bottom about the identity of the man on the far right -- is it Charlie Norris, Frank Norris, or "one of the Mortons." |
