  • Hunter Abercrombie Eddie, appreciate your posting this. My Daddy’s mother, we called her MommaCrumbie. She lost her husband Andrew Abercrombie in1925. She had to raise 4 children by herself with no government help. All the kids would help with jobs. She had to be really tough.She had a full time job sewing. Lived to be 98. Could say much more about her and Grandma Hunter(Lillie Belle).
