***From Ruth Bowlby CARLETON (excerpts from autobiography):
Grandpa had a beautiful voice. At one time he had been a member of a quartet along with the man who wrote "Down by the Old Mill Stream" [Tell Vanlue TAYLOR]. He played the guitar + piano, among other things.
My days as Little May ended when my aunt [Neta] died soon after her little boy was born. I was very ill at the time, just barely surviving pneumonia, + I do not believe I was actually told of her death — + yet I knew. My grandmother + grandfather took [their grandson] + raised him as if he were their own child. At this point they lived on Thornapple St. (later on Orchard) + when I was 9 + began to take piano lessons I would practice after school on her piano. When I would arrive, grandma would put on her hat + go out on her errands. It was a bit difficult for me to practice + baby sit at the same time, so somehow or other dad + mother managed to buy a piano so I could practice at home.
I do remember an earthquake in our area when I was very young. I was sitting on my grandpa's lap + fell off. This upset me (in more ways than one!) Because I adored my Grandpa BOWLBY. As the first child, grandchild etc in the family, I no doubt received more than my share of attention, but grandpa was special — so big + loving + with such a comfortable lap to sit on while he sang to me. I remember one song about Noah's Ark, "The animals went in, two by two, the hippappatamus + the kickangeroo." He'd sing "The peanut sat on a railroad track, its heart was all aflutter, A train came roaring down the track, Toot toot peanuts butter. Oh — it aint gonna rain no more, it aint gonna rain no more, how in the heck can I wash my neck if it aint gonna rain no more?" He'd sing "Bill Bailey won't you please come home?" + "Father, dear father, come home with me now — the clock in the steeple strikes two" where poor little Willie died at the end but father wouldn't leave the bar to join the grieving family.
Another parade that I remember I watched from the porch of the CARLETON house on Second + Cass Streets where my grandparents rented the upstairs apartment. The porch was screened in summer + a cool place to sit on a hot July day. When the parade passed by, we all laughed at the discomforture of a young lad who sat in a bath tub on a float sponsored by the local plumber. Later on, after I'd met + married the CARLETON's oldest grandson, we lived for a while in that house with our sons... across from the City hall which included the fire station. The old city hall is gone now (a new + larger fire station + a library bldg now sit on that plot of land) + so is the CARLETON house + all the neighboring houses of the two boys' childhoods.
Roland BOWLBY was known for his fondness for cornmeal mush; he once ate so much his family was afraid he'd killed himself.*******
