Poetic Obituaries: [Gertrude Geneve Grama Kastenhuber] did housework for area homes

to earn money to buy clothes and was particularly fond of her Grandmother Laura Hawthorne Harris, who taught her many lifelong values and poems. Gertrude had a good memory, writing and memorizing poetry. She wrote speeches for temperance movements and was known to read a book per week and later donate them to charity.
