Christie's Diary

 7-12 We took Effie to WKZO to the Dr for her throat. 

[WKZO = Kalamazoo. Grandma always wrote it that way. WKZO was actually the local TV channel broadcasting out of Kalamazoo.]

Effie was Grandpa's sister. 

Effie was married to Harry Wieland.

Effie and Harry had no children of their own, but they raised a nephew, Allan Miller, whose mother had died shortly after he was born.

Harry Wieland died in 1951

Here is a quirky picture from our family archives. 

Kate was Effie's aunt, married to George Adams.

Harry and Effie were married in 1910, so this picture, if labeled correctly, would have been taken before they were married.

This is how I remember Aunt Effie.

This picture was taken about 1955.
