Stay Out Of Aunt Sis Nusbaum’s Trunk

My grandmother, Lilly Lucretia Stephens Donaway, had an aunt who died crossing Sandy Creek at high water in 1926. Her name was Missouri Margaret Nusbaum and my grandmother inherited her 80 acres and a trunk that was stored underneath the kitchen sink at my grandparents' farm west of Cisco. I was told “Stay out of Aunt Sis' trunk.” 12/28/2023 12:00 AM
