Which Reminds Me

Yes, I suppose that some smart alecky person would want to make some snarky commentary out of the story of the five Duncan sisters who, while doing so much spiritual work, at the same time had so many marital problems. Only Nellie 'Fell' managed to leave behind some children to multiply and populate the earth. Olive Work doesn't seem to have any children, or at least nothing came up so far in the searches. Hmmm.... And there is also the Duncan sisters' sojourn at Lima, in New York that is, although not the Lima in Ohio that was the hometown of the Barth great-grandparents. Likewise our great-grandmother Mary was the daughter of Nellie Smith, and she had seven children. So I suppose that some persons give added significance to the name of Nellie that not intended. Oh, I had not noticed that.
