Monday, February 06, 2017She lived most of her life in the Almont area—born in 1918 the very place from which she'll be sent off: Burley Hospital, which is now Muir Brothers Funeral Home.Gertie BrooksShe grew up on the farm that was the subject of many of her Country Cousin columns. Eventually she and Red would end up with the place, a dream come true for Gertie. She and Red raised three kids there, and were "foster parents" of sorts to numerous 4-H Saddle Club members.When Gertie wasn't busy with family and farm life, you'd find her out in nature. In younger days, horseback riding and taking road trips in the family RV. Later, odds were she'd be out at the pond that was part of the 'back 45,' with her pampered pooch Daisy—who would amuse her with whenever a squirrel or some other creature would happen by.She loved reading and writing, it almost seemed to be in her blood. From a young age she kept diaries and journals detailing every day life with the encouragement and help of her mom.Gertie logged trips to Port Huron by horse and sleigh—when it took more than half a day to get there and they'd keep warm with bricks that had been heated in a fire at home and wrapped in blankets for the trip.Gertie's pen brought us memories of her mom's wood burning cook stove, which was instrumental in one of her tales about the tedious task of "doing laundry" in the olden days.Gertie described how they'd have to heat the water in a big pot on the cook stove, and make the soap with lye and whatnot. What takes less than an hour today was a week-long task back then.Gertie loved her brothers—both considerably older than she was—with a fierceness that never wavered, even well after both passed away.She loved her "little church in the wood"—West Berlin United Methodist—and wrote about and looked forward to their ice cream socials and holiday events.I learned what a 'pinafore' was...
