In the summer of 1954, Aunt Eva decided she should sell her home in Commerce and make a move to Fort Worth to be close to me and my children. Aunt Eva had been alone in Commerce alone since 1948. Beth Ann lived in Dallas at that time.
Mother was nearing her retirement age then, and she and Aunt Eva bought the duplex on Merida together. Mother made the payments on the remainder of the balance, but didn't live there until a little later. They rented out Mother’s side, the south side, and she continued to teach in West Texas.
Aunt Eva went to work for Cox's Department store that fall. Couldn't get possession of her house immediately, so she continued to stay with me at Hawthorne for a while.
