Family Memories of Grandma Louisa Dibble by her Grandaughter...
"I do know that Louisa Hilsinger was 26 years old when she married Isaac Dibble.
After Grandpa died, Grandma lived with her 4 children, one cousin and one friend---traveling around like a gypsy---never staying in any one place for a specific time. She always travelled with 3 straw suitcases. Two were for her clothing---the third was for her "burial clothes"---all I can remember is that the dress was white. Of course, she wasn't buried in that white dress---it probably didn't fit anymore and the material had deteriorated. Anyway, Mom said it was a beach dress.

One never knew when to expect her. We would hear a car horn, look out the window and there she'd be getting out of a car. When the spirit moved her to leave, she'd get up in the morning and say to my father, "Roy, I want you to take me to----? today." She read her Bible every day----read the Cobleskill or Richmondville newspaper and "True Story" magazine, which Mom disapproved of---she considered it "trash". But her friend "Marjie" when she visited regularly, always had a new supply for her when she went there. She always took her "constitutional" (a walk) either up and down the road in front of our house or in stormy weather up and down the porch---I remember her putting her shawl over her shoulders for warmth.

I was fascinated by the style of her hair---it was always very neat (and long-not like my "Dutchbol"). She was very faithful in wearing the elastic bandages on each leg---rolling them up very neatly at night so they'd be all ready in the morning. She had "milk leg" with her first pregnancy.

She sometimes would sing to us. I wish I could remember the words to one song about a black cat full of mouse and rat, sitting by or under a stove. Sometimes she would make a dessert or something that was one of Dad's favorites when he was growing up, but did not pretend to do all the cooking. She and Mom both loved caraway cookies (sugar cookies with caraway seeds on top) and they both liked creamed dried cod fish which my Dad hated, but Mom would have at least once every time Grandma visited us.

Of course, now I wish I had asked her questions about her girlhood days---school, child games, etc. but I never did and I can't remember her ever offering such information or ever telling us about Daddy's childhood. "
