Nellie WARNER- A Family Story
"Every family has stories about its members. They all are colored by the point of view of the teller. The listener adds or subtracts depending on their perspective. Time changes everything.
"These are some stories of my Aunt Nellie.
"Her parents were Donald and Hattie Warner. Don was a hard workingman, devout Methodists, and interested in science. He had his own business installing coal-fired furnaces in homes. He also worked building Oldsmobile and REO cars and trucks in Lansing, Michigan. When others were laid off work during the yearly car model changes he usually continued because of his mechanical abilities.
"Before Nellie’s birth they had been blest with four boys. The oldest was Frank, followed by Ray, then Floyd, and my father, Charles.
"Nellie was the girl they desired. At home the parents protected Nellie from her four rough siblings.
"Her brother Charles only a year older was chosen by his parents to be Nellie’s protector. When it was time for Charles to start school at age five the parents decided to keep him home a year so he could start in the same class as his sister to look after and protect her.
"The situation was not good for the development of either child.
"One humorous result of this overprotection happened in her teen years. A liberal young man was courting Nellie. They were sitting on her front porch and the parent’s guard was down. What could happen on the family front porch? Here’s the story.
"The young man had brought a bottle in his pocket with either root beer or ginger ale and started drinking. He convinced Nellie it was alcoholic and got her to take a drink. He drank more and started acting tipsy. He encouraged Nellie to drink more, which she did. He began acting more intoxicated and after a while Nellie was beginning to think she was feeling dizzy. The power of suggestion. Soon she was weaving around and standing was difficult. She sat down on the porch railing and suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"It must have been doubly embarrassing for her to find out she had become drunk without any alcohol.
"Charles was expected to be the protector of his sister well into high school.
"He finally rebelled after meeting the girl who later became his wife.
"When Nellie and Charles began high school he met Helen Yarger and asks her for a date. They had set a time and place to meet. Excitedly he told his parents about his plans. They thought this would be fine and told him he must take his sister with him. What a turn off. He told his parents he would not go on the date if he had to take his sister. He stayed home. Because he could not contact Helen, she was stood up on their “First Date”.
"Don and Hattie then realized there was a limit to their expectations of Charles and allowed him to start making his own way in the world.
"Nellie grew up and taught Sunday school and worked in a print shop that produced advertisement mailings. In her thirties she met and married Alfred Pearson.
"Al worked for the Lansing Police Department as a parking meter repairman. This was no easy job working on the clock mechanisms as he had lost most of one hand in an accident.
"They saved their money and after years of renting bought a house in Lansing. They were childless."
