Notes for Caroline Schuster
Aunt Cal worked for [Northwestern RR] as a typist in the same office [as my sister Ethel]. Five days a week and a half day on Saturday. Meanwhile all I did was Sing. [Earlier,] Aunt Cal had left her husband Stanley down in Texas and moved in with us, There is a picture of Aunt Cal & me in my confirmation dress in our photo album. Cal looked very thin having just left her husband.
-- Margery Mayer Voutsas, 6 Mar 2008, in an e-mail message to her son Lynn.
Aunt Cal had a nice life in youth, went to eighth grade (like me), then worked after Grandma died in Jan. 1918. Aunt Cal gave up her planned marriage to a second cousin in Buffalo NY and stayed home to take care of her father and Clara (who later married Ray). Grandpa Schuster came home one night married to a widowed woman, [which] meant Aunt Cal had to get out. So as she was dating Stanley Pierce (English) at the time, they ran off and got married. She was about 29 then. They lived together for a while, [but] they didn’t get along So she left him with the clothes she had on her back. She was broke, but grandpa Greiner (George) my mothers father sent her money. So she came and lived with us for quite a while, I was in low 20s then.”
-- Ethel Mayer Vogt, May 1979 letter to her daughter Marcia
“Aunt Cal had a dog named Petey--a pit bull brindle; I used to dress him up in doll clothes." -- Margery Mayer
