Posted by: Ramona C. Moore Tue February 09, 2016 | To Uncle Morris's family,
My love and thoughts go out to all of you during this time of loss. Uncle Morris is such a big part of a lot of nieces, nephews, and other's history. His big laugh, sniffing his nose to one side, great stories, sense of humor, and top notch dressing and orderly home will always be a part of my memories. He and Aunt Carolyn always made me feel welcome at their home. She would cook big breakfasts with home grown tomatoes, bacon, and eggs whenever I'd spend the night with them. Visits to their place on north Hwy 65 in the mid to late 1960's, then over in the new housing addition in Trenton were always fun. I am blessed to have so many cousins from the Trump's large family. Sheri was born in 1960, the same year as I. Her name for me when we were around 5 years old was, "Ammonia". It stuck with Aunt Carolyn because she would put "Ramonia" on letters she'd send to me for the rest of her letter writing and card sending days. :) I've heard Dad tell about when he and Morris as young men got to talking serious one evening about their lives and the direction they wanted to go. One of the things they talked about was needing to get good girls instead of running with "the street girls" that they were meeting at the skating rink and around town! Dad told Morris that if they were looking for good girls, he knew where they needed to look..at the Assembly of God Church! Dad tells that he spotted his and Uncle Morris spotted his. Dad asked Morris who he was looking at. Morris said, "One of those Trump girls". Dad said, "Woe, which one?!" Morris said the blonde headed one. Dad said, "well, okay". He ends the story by saying, "He's still got his and I've still got mine!". In 2015, both couples celebrated 65 years of marriage. Morris and Carolyn married in May, 2 weeks before Mom and Dad in the year 1950. Carolyn graduated high school one night and got married the next. That's how they did it back then! Both girls were more than happy to get away from the work at the Trump Farm as the 2 oldest girls. However, they soon found out that work was to follow them as wives and mothers. Dad and Morris are cousins from the Harris side of the family. Morris's father, Charlie Walker was my paternal grandmother's nephew. Fina's oldest sister, Ella Harris Walker's son. So, Dad has many stories of growing up with both Marvin and Morris as boys around the Jamesport/Poosey/Hickory area. Many fond memories. Dad always said Charlie Walker was a very good farmer and he would confide in him and get farming advice when he was a young man farming in the 1940's before he went off to WWII and after returning home. Farewell, Uncle Morris. You will be missed by many who loved you and will always remember you. Love, Ramona Carolyn Moore |
