Cousin Juanita
Cousin Juanita Waller Barbour was born in 1933, the
firstborn of the Waller grandchildren. She was the only one for several years.
Then about 1937 and within a few years most of the rest were born. For example:
Oct 37 Daphne, Dec 37 Bailey, Jun 38 Robert, and Aug 38 Nancy; so four Waller
grandchildren were born within a year.
Juanita was the leader then, and she is the leader now. She
inherited the job from Aunt Vivian. When I was a child she would lead us into
the woods to where the moss covered the ground under a tree. She told us to sit
on the moss, close our eyes, and then we would see the fairies that lived in
the woods.
Juanita displays a fancy dress. She looks about 15 years old
in this picture. Sister Joyce told me recently that she was holding the dress up
from behind.
