My mother remembers her as being very frugal. Her grandmother did not waste things which could be reused; she saved remnants of fabrics out of which she made clothes for her grandchildren.
Alta became a life-long, active member of the Church of the Disciples of Christ (First Christian Church) in New Martinsville. In the hallway of this church on Maple Street is a group photo of the members of the congregation. Alta is on the right at the front.
Submitted by her great granddaughter, J. Garner Sheeran aka Maryrose.
