i<\/p>\n

Gramma Brew was born Anna Louise Witt, she married Arthur Eggerson (who was a jockey). I didn\u2019t know this until I was 13 yrs old because Gramma Brew married Michael J. Brew when my mother was 11 or 12 and he was the only Grampa I knew and I loved him. He was an architect and worked for the Broad of Education and they were divorced when I was about 7 or 8.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gramma Phillips married again for a very short while to Patrick Gill \u201cPaddy\u201d and we called her Gramma Gill bur after her divorce she was back to Gramma Phillips.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I was born I had 2 cousins Mary Ann (Mickey) and George Michael (Buddy) Hynes \u2013 Aunt Anna & Uncle Mike (who died when I was 9).<\/em><\/p>\n

ii<\/p>\n

Aunt Ann and Uncle Mike lived in St Bartholomew Parish in Addison a few blocks West of Ciero, he worked in the Wrigley Bldg. He had 2 brothers, John who married Ann in the 40\u2019s and Jim (who died 1989).<\/em><\/p>\n

The Phillips boys worked for North Western Railroad. Uncle Bob got the education & went to Notre Dame & was a civil engineer. He worked for the state of Ill. until he retired. Uncle Ben (signal man) retired from the railroad and went to work for the State also. Uncle George worked at Mayfair (ticket master) Station.<\/em><\/p>\n

My mother had one brother Francis \u201cFrank\u201d he was 5 years younger then she \u2013\u00a0<\/em>Side-notes; July 1, 1903 \u2013 MA, August 7, 1902 \u2013 DAD, September 29, 1905 \u2013 Frank, August 7, 1907 \u2013 Uncle Ben.
\n<\/em><\/i><\/small>
\nMy father had one sister Ann and four Brothers. George was the oldest and was a half brother, his mother died when he was a baby and my grandfather Phillips married my grandmother soon after. My Aunt Ann was born Nov 4, 1900, my dad Peter Patrick Aug 7, 1902, Uncle Ben also called Barney was Bernard and born on my father\u2019s birthday August 7, 1907 (5 years later). Then Uncle Jim and Uncle Bob who\u2019s real name was Edward Francis, but his sister called him Bobby, and so did the rest of his family for the rest of his life. But at school & work he was Ed!<\/em><\/p>\n

Grampa Phillips died of lung cancer when Bob was a baby. He smoked Big Black cigars. *Cousin Cheryl said T.B. \u2013 Uncle Ben\u2019s youngest girl.<\/em><\/p>\n

iv<\/p>\n

My mother\u2019s name was Harriette but she was called \u201cHenry\u201d in school & Harriett the rest of her life. My Uncle Frank called her \u201cShorty.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

My grandmother\u2019s name was Anna Louise she was born in Mo., her parents were German from Bremen \u2013 her father sold shoes, I think from horse & cart.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gramma Phillips was born in Ireland, County of Meath \u2013 We have the \u201cblood of Kings\u201dshe would always tell us. She lived on a farm with her Parents and they had cherry trees or at least she said they did on their farm. She was married at 16 yrs. old & was widowed at a young age with 5 children to raise. She came from Ireland with her sister Ann & they worked as \u201cScullery maids\u201d \u2013 she had a brother Jim Meehan who resided in Des Plaines with his wife Liz & 5 children.<\/em><\/p>\n

My father<\/em>
\nmade butterscotch, popcorn balls, cream of onion soup, loved poached eggs, put on toast with milk. Put pepper on everything and catchup too (he wrinkled his forehead a lot too).<\/em><\/p>\n

He used to teach me how to read on his lap with the daily newspaper. He used to hold me in his arms and dance with me to the music on the radio. I remember \u201cParadise\u201d & \u201cNight & Day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember going for walks with him & my mother & brother but I remember we walked alone too. We lived near Logan Square & we would walk on the Boulevard & he would buy me candy. We would look in the store windows. He ate sardines (King Oscar) on crackers & read us the Sunday Jokes which were in color. He told us stories at bedtime & he was fun. He also made \u201cHootch.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

vi<\/p>\n

He took me to my first day of Kindergarten Geothe School, bought me a pad of paper and a pencil & we walked hand in hand. He called me his \u201cDoll.\u201d I got pneumonia and didn\u2019t finish and I always had trouble with my ears.<\/em><\/p>\n

I remember one Christmas that they were making a tree out of Brown sticks & branches. This was the depression time and he worked for the railroad & his hours were not regular. I remember going to both grandmothers houses, and their smells & the love!<\/em><\/p>\n

Another Christmas we were at Gramma Phillips\u2019 house & they were putting together a little table for me. It had an enamel top (like our stoves) white with a Black rim and red wooden legs. When I say they it was usually Uncle Ben & Bob & \u201cMy Pop.\u201d There was a cartoon called \u201cThat\u2019s My Pop\u201d he liked that one. I remember horseshoes & checkers.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
