“Two women were minding my grandmother on her deathbed and in the middle of the night one stooped down to give her a drop of whiskey.”
Two women were minding my grandmother on her deathbed and in the middle of the night one stooped down to give her a drop of whiskey. At the same moment the latch was raised three times & one of the women said to the sick woman Did you hear the latch, Ma'am, I did says she and my husband's voice called my name three times Ellen Ellen Ellen. The husband left her a widow 40 years before & she never forgot to get a Mass said on the anniversary of his death & oftener. So the women were frightened out of their lives but she told them he was only calling her home. She died next day. Both women are now dead but I remember the whole affair myself.
