++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"When she (Shirley) was born, she was the 5th daughter. Nana named her Shirley Mae and Pana went in and added Harriet (his name was Harry). I guess if he couldn't get a son he was going to name his daughter after himself. Nana never forgave him, neither did my mom. Mom never used the Harriet, and the only way I found out was after she died and I saw a report card with the full name of Shirley Mae Harriet Oswald on it. Dad confirmed she had two middle names, but hated the Harriet and never used it."
