I Remember... Mary L. Morris Bonzo
From a Grandson
When I started school, we left the Wizard Oil Bridge house and moved into Portsmouth. My Grandmother had a big, old 2-story house there. It had a full apartment upstairs which she frequently rented out. She also had a sleeping room upstairs which she rented to "roomers."
The house had been used by bootleggers at one time and had a hidden trapdoor in the living room floor and an area where bootleg could be stored under the floor. She was a teetotaler and wasn't too happy when she found out she had had bootleggers living in her house!
One of my aunts came to visit us and brought with her some whiskey of some sort "for medical purposes" to sooth her "upset stomach". Now, my grandmother was a great user of what she called "toilet water" which was a perfumed stuff she used on her hair. Earle was home at the time and wanted to go downtown. Grandmother decided to go with, so she hurried to get ready. In her haste, she grabbed the wrong bottle and dumped the whiskey on her hair!
Mother and Earle and I thought it was very funny. Grandmother didn't.
By the time she got too old to stay by herself, Earle had moved to Columbus so she moved in with him and lived with him until her death at the end of 1967.
