Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Radiant Life of Vera B. Blinn Vera Belle Blinn was born in Penalosa, an obscure town in Kansas, on Lincoln´s birthday, February 12, 1890. Two great blessings were hers upon her advent into the world: a Christian home and a warm welcome for the baby. She herself would perhaps wish us to add a third - she was born in Kansas, the State she loved best. Both parents were of strong religious convictions and earnest workers in their local church. Her father kept the general store at Penalosa. Up till this time there was only one child in the family, a daughter, Bertha, then sixteen years of age. All her life Bertha had wanted a baby in the home. There was an orphanage in a neighboring city which she called the "poor house," and over and over again she had begged her parents to go to the "poor house" and get a baby. The only satisfaction she ever received was her father´s joking remark that it was likely they would all need to go to the poor house before long. One year Bertha went away to Kingman, Kansas, to attend high school. While there she received a telegram one morning calling her home.
