Family notes from Hilda McElhenney Griffith
(C. Avis Catalog entry #1266)
Mother and Madge went to visit Charles in California after Mother graduated from high school in 1919. They went on the train and stayed for several weeks being wined and dined by Charles friends and fellow pilots. They returned to Temple in time for your grandmother Fay's wedding in October, I think. Then Charles was killed, I believe, in November. It was so sad.
["Mother" is Hilda Rudd McElhenney. Hilda, Madge, Charles and Fay Rudd were siblings (along with Mildred)]
