On a summer vacation visit to her older sister, my Mother a Virginian by birth, came to Philadelphia from Lynchburg where she was a school teacher. (or taught school.)
Mother is short, plumpish with a (of) light complexion and her hair which she always wears short, is even now only slightly gray.
It was mother's brother in-law who introduced her to his friend, the unusual young man who neither drank, smoked nor chewed was an active Christian, a steady worker and maintained his own room in the home of his parents. And so it is little wonder that this man lost no time in trying to convince [?] Miss Ricker that she should become Mrs John Berkeley Anderson.
After the marriage they moved in with friends of my father and started a life together in a rented room.
