~Robison~ - Faith Sisters Scrapbooking Gallery

My grandmother died when I was only 4 and the facts I have about her is mostly from pictures she saved and from talking to my brother and cousins. I truly regret not asking my dad more about her.

JOURNALING:
Adeline Mae Robison was born on March 31, 1892 in Webb City, Missouri to Isaac E. Robison and Fannie A. Powell. Her dad was a farmer and her mom was a farmer’s wife. She had 3 sisters-Myrtle Angeline, Lydia Edith, Emma Gertrude and three brothers- Fred Isaac, Wilbur Frances and Henry Edward. She attended school in Webb City, playing basketball for the Web City High School. She met and married Carl Jerome Gordinier in Kansas City, Missouri. He worked as a trucker and his job brought them to Los Angeles, California. She had two children, Carl Jr. and Jack Robison. When her husband came down with polio in 1930, she took in sewing to make ends meet. Times were hard for them during the depression and the church came to their aid many times. She belonged to the Christian church and was an active member of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

I have very few memories of my grandmother. But certain things bring her quickly to mind. The smell of fresh laundry as she hung it out to dry and we would play hide and seek, the taste of a chocolate malt that she would blend for us every time we came over to visit and most importantly the site of the beautiful wedding dress that she made for my mom which Meg & I have also worn. These are fleeting buy tangible memories of a grandmother who loved me.
