Coral’s family history · Chapter 13

Leeda Grace Ralston

Leeda Grace Ralston connects the Frame, Ralston, and Wescott branches of Coral’s history. Coral records Grace’s marriage in 1904 and describes her life with Alvie Wescott, household work, gardening, and the family’s homes in western New York.

The chapter also follows Grace’s sister Mabel and the next generation. Coral’s recollections include family visits and her friendship with her cousin Helen, known as Bobbie, who later accompanied her to art shows.

Coral records Grace’s death in 1975 and Mabel’s in 1984, at the age of one hundred. She identifies Blockville Union Burying Ground as their burial place.

Exact birth details of potentially living relatives, recent descendants’ identities, intimate family accounts, and photographs have been retained in the private family edition.
