Family History revised

Caroline Coon Sonday married a man named Cullep. He was aunt Dot's dad. He left her when aunt Dot was very small. Caroline then went to dress making school to be able to earn a living and support herself and her daughter.
She later met and married Joaeph Samuel Sonday at Brewster Kansas I think.
They moved to Cope co. where they homesteaded and lived in a dug out. It was in this dug out that Roy Edward Sonday was born in Feb. 1910.
They lost the farm and moved back to Kansas. Ralph Andrew Sonday was born in a sod house.
Carolines husband Joe raised registered quarter horses and farmed with a team named Opal and Maude.
They moved to the town of Sharon Springs Kansas when my mother Vera Lucille Sonday was 5 years old.
In town they had two lots where the house was and 1/2 block across the street where they kept their horses, cows and chickens.
One lot was used for a garden.
On the other lot was a two room house with a basement. There was no running water or plumbing. We had a privy (outhouse). The basement door was outside.
I (Vera)went to live with my grandparents the summer before I was to enter the fourth grade. That was when grandpa was running the ice house which he owned.
In 1947 about October grandpa was closing the ice house for the winter. That was when he turned the wrong valve and got ammonia in his lungs.
We took care of him at home until he died Dec. 14. 1947.
My parents moved back to Sharon Springs from Hays to run the ice house. Vera's parents were Roy Edward Sonday and Vera Blanche Butler. My dad continued to drive a truck and mom ran the ice house.
We all lived with grandma in the two room house. We finally got a room built on and had running water. Cold running water. Uncle Louie Sonday came from Nebraska to help get the room and water in the house.
Uncle Ralph lived in Oklahoma and was a major in the Army and an engineer for the State Highway Dept.
Grandma Sonday later moved to Muskogee Oklahoma to work at a motel. That is where Uncle Ralph lived.
When she came back to Kansas to live she was able to get social security. at first she got $17.00 per month. She sewed for other people and lived in Brewster. She lived in Brewster for several years babysitting and sewing to make ends meet.
Aunt Dot and Uncle Rudolph moved to California but grandma remained in Brewster for several years. She later moved to Dodge City Kansas where Roy and Blanche lived.
This account was written by Vera L. Miller daughter of Roy and Blanche Sonday. Granddaughter of Caroline and Joseph Sonday.
