Alton Telegraph - Wednesday, May 15, 2002, p.2A — Our Past Column - News of May 15, 1977 ~~~ V.I.P. Manor changed mother's life My mother is 80 years old and worked as a homemaker. She was very upset that I brought her to V.I.P. Manor in April 1997. She said she would not stay and demanded to go home. When she arrived she was not able to stand alone and needed two assistants. She was very depressed and was dependent on the staff for her care. She stayed in her room except for meals. Now she is able to stand and walk from her room to the dining room and with one assistant and the use of a walker. She now visits with other residents in the lobby and in the dining room. She goes to other residents' rooms to visit and have prayer with them. She praises others when she sees them in the hall. She has adjusted quite well and now is satisfied to call this home and tells everyone she's glad she chose V.I.P. She rarely has a complaint about the employees or other residents and is very appreciative for what they do for her. She is much more motivated now. She interacts well with others and encourages others to attend activities. She is a real inspiration to others here in the facility whether it be resident or staff. You are truly a special person, Virginia Kemper, and we love you. LARRY KEMPER, Alton. July 23, 1998 ~~~ Virginia M. Kemper WOODRIVER--Virginia M.

Mildred's mother sent her to help my grandmother when my aunt was born that year. Both families ended up moving from Alton, Madison, IL to Bunker Hill, Macoupin, IL where Mildred met and married her classmate Francis Duncan. I know Francis' nieces. They taught me how to walk on stilts in their Grandma and Grandpa Duncan's side yard. Those were the days and it's too sad that today's kids don't know how to have fun and create good memories to tell about when they get older. Debbi Geer Spouse: Charlotte May "Lottie" JEANS. In the 1930 census they are "separated" but both are listed as "married". They had probably just separated shortly before the census was taken or the divorce was not yet final. In the 1940 census both are listed as "widowed". Now I will say sometimes couples did separate but never got divorced so they could claim widowed for county financial support when it came to paying monthly bills but more so getting health care very cheap or free. However, since neither are mentioned in the obits I would say they most likely were divorced. Debbi Geer Adam Henry OWREY was born on 15 March 1832 in New Castle, Crawford Co., Pennsylvania, USA.
