Nanny's "Reminiscing and Rambling"
Joe and I were married Feb. 10th, 1929 in Iowa. I had been called home {from Cleveland Bible college} the first of Nov. to care for mom.who was very ill, so I did not get to graduate from CBI in May, 1930 as planned.Work was scarce in Cleveland, but, in the fall of 1930 we went back, and I started my last year in Oct., and, after finding some work, Joe returned to school in Feb. 1931 to finish the second semester of his second year.
We lived in a furnished apartment above Mrs. Lipske's (she lived on the first floor and cooked noon meals for those living close by) on 33rd Street 2 or 3 blocks from school. The living room served also as a bedroom. There was a good sized kitchen with cook stove, cupboards, kitchen table and chairs, and had a window on the outside of which was built a large "box affair" in which we put food to keep cool (frozen most of the winter) --our icebox, nonetheless. I had use of a conventional washer in the basement, of course, getting permission each time of use. We shared the bathroom with another Bible School couple who lived in the adjacent apartment.
........There were 2 or 3 couples attending CBI who were expecting an increase in their families and students were questioning, "Who's going to be next?"It wasn't long before they founnd out.
..........Then Joe's folks sent us, so graciously, a large smoked ham and a strip of bacon which Dad Speas had cured himself.....
