Edythe Grace Sisson (1897-1978) and George Rayson Brown (1898-1974) were my husband's great Aunt and Uncle. Edythe, nicknamed Edy in the family, helped raise my mother-in-law (who called her "Mom" and Rayson "Daddy"). My husband called Edy "Grandma Aunt Edy". They remember her with such fondness.
When I discovered the letters that Rayson had saved, I knew I wanted to preserve them for my husband and mother-in-law. Though the letters have ended, Edythe and Rayson had a good many years ahead of them together. They had two children, a daughter who was stillborn, and a son, Warren, who passed a few years ago. Warren didn't have children, so there are no direct descendants.
