- From notes at FindaGrave.com: "Goldie May Remington was born June 21,1898 on the Remington Family Farm about 4 miles west of Chetopa, Labette County, Kansas, to Butler and Oma Mills Remington. She married Fred Rainwater. They had three children: Frank, Florence and Freyda Rainwater. Fred Rainwater died on October 15, 1954. She later married Mr. Laughery (first name unknown) and relocated to Kansas City, Clay County, Missouri. She died there in a nursing home on January 22, 1978. I only met Goldie once in 1956 or 1957 when we went to visit my great-grandmother, Oma Mills Remington. Goldie was the one taking care of her. She was a really nice person. She worked day and night to take care of my little Granny, who was very weak and couldn't remember much anymore. Goldie had just recently lost her husband and was faced with the loss of her own mother. Life wasn't easy on the farm. I collected eggs with Aunt Goldie and watched her go about her farming chores on top of the 24 hours a day care she gave to her mother. She introduced me to the storm celler, where they kept their home made soap and the various foods that were stored there. There was only an outhouse and one recently strung electrical wire for the refrigerator and a light, and absolutely no modern conveniences that I was used to. It was really a unique experience for someone from a fairly large city in California. Goldie lived to be 79 years, 7 months and 1 day. Goldie was buried in Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette County, Kansas, near the many other members of her family that had passed before her." (by Paula Smith)
