An inventory of her life, apparently written towards the end of it. I'm not sure what the first couple of entries are referring to.
Actually, her sister, my "Aunt Louise", spent a year in the hospital back in the 1960's. She thought she would never see the light of day again, so, when she finally returned home (4208 N. Charles St.), she would never allow the blinds to be closed in her bedroom, no matter how brightly the sun shone in. Her legs, nearly useless already, got even weaker as time went on. (Our family doctor said she had a very slow form of ALS.)
Grandma Ivey cared for Aunt Louise up until 1981, when it got to be too much for her - remember, they were both in their 80's - and Aunt Louise was moved into a nearby nursing home. Grandma went out to see her one icy day, slipped, and broke her back. The nursing home, meanwhile, wasn't very good, so my mother and father got a hospital bed and brought Aunt Louise down to live with them until her death in 1985.
When Grandma was released from the hospital, she also came to stay with my parents. After recuperating, she returned to Baltimore; several years later, my mother convinced her to move down to an apartment in College Park where it would be easier for us to care for her. Grandma lived there for several years, before finally having to go into Sacred Heart Nursing Home - kicking and screaming, figuratively speaking! (My father had a heart attack in 1984 and major heart surgery in 1986, and my mother's health was beginning to fail, so they couldn't take her in.)

THERE IS A NEW curator
at Mount Clare, the historic
mansion of Charles Carroll, the
barrister, at Carroll Park.
She is Mrs. Stella Ivy of Relay, and she succeeds Mrs. Walter N. Ruth, who had been curator for some years. Born in Anne Arundel County and educated in Baltimore, Mrs. Ivy has had a life-long interest in historic houses and is herself descended from one of the seven Hammond brothers, each of whom built a colonial house in Maryland. She recently made extensive research into the two branches of the Carrolls of Maryland -- Charles Carroll, signer, and Charles Carroll, barrister. Mount Clare is under the custody of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America in the State of Maryland and is maintained jointly with the Department of Parks and Recreation of Baltimore City. |
And in another newspaper, unnamed and undated. Both articles spell her name incorrectly!
