Lillian Louise VIA
My mother, always known by her family and friends as "Sister", was named "Louise Via" on her birth certificate. Her father was working at The Miller School of Albemarle when she was born. She always said that her name was "Lillian Louise", and the name Lillian was probably for her father's sister. Because of great family hardships, she lived for a time in childhood with her Aunt Gabie and Gabie's daughter Madolene, in Woodlawn, Maryland. She also lived with her cousin Ottolene Becraft. She was a freckle-faced redhead and she often told of the time she was merely walking through Baltimore's Druid Hill Park, when someone suddenly swept her up and proclaimed her "the winner". She had unwittingly rambled onto a freckle-judging contest and the prize was a doll with three faces - one crying, one sleeping and one smiling. She had many favorite sayings that she ofttimes recited and one, about her name, was "my name is Lillian Louise, and I do as I please" and indeed she did.
She is buried next to her mother in the Saint Matthew's section of Crestlawn Gardens which is just beyond Ellicott City on Route 70 towards Sykesville.
