Myrtle Irene “Granny” Jones Foster (1895-1991). Granny is Anna’s grandmother, her mother’s
mother. Granny was born and raised in
the Milton- Alpharetta, Georgia, area.
She had 6 siblings, 5 sisters and
a brother.
Irene married Paul Everette Foster. They had eight children, four died at
birth. Paul was a Singer Sewing Machine
Salesman. They moved to Marietta,
Georgia. Paul died as a young man
leaving Irene to care for their four children.
They lived all around Marietta.
On several streets I see the houses or lots they used to lived in. They jokingly said they moved often, when the
rent was due. But I think they probably
moved in town during school months and further out during growing season.
Irene took over part of her late husband’s skills. She became a Singer Sewing Machine repair
person. She also was Nannie and
practical nurse. All her four children reached
adulthood and did good with families of their own.
