My great-grandma, Momo.
Lona Powers was the loving daughter of six children born to Milton Weston Quick of Gainesville, Wyoming Co., New York and Catherine Stamp of Lincolnshire, England.
Lona married Isaac Franklin Barger days after her seventeenth birthday on 23 Apr 1901 in Jay County, Indiana. She immediately became a parent to then six-year-old Harold Green Barger, Isaac's son who lost his mother three years earlier. They became the loving parents to Milan Wesley, Oliver Lewis, Viola Mae, Celeste Fern, Rachel Irene, and Clara Marie Barger.
Later, Momo married a widower by the name of Clarence Eugene Powers. He brought two children into the marriage, my Uncle Eldon of Barstow, and Lucille E. Powers.
Affectionately known by her great-granchildren simply as MoMo, she traveled every where with her little white dog, enjoyed spending time with family under the gigantic shade trees on family property near Lake Elsinore in the Cleveland National Forest above Temescal Canyon. She lived in great health through the late 1960s. A full head of perfectly white hair, I most remember her gentle demeanor and her little dog always sitting in her lap, her soft skin, full cheeks, long dresses, white sweater, saggy stockings and her black "old lady shoes".
My grandmother, Rachel Irene Barger Carpenter, recollected the stories of her father driving the family to their new lives and home in Southern California. She told of the story of how she and her sisters saw the ocean for the first time, and walked along the shore.
