not the 49 gold rush, but aunte jeannie

the last 4 blogs i have given profiles of jerry bryan, me with my family, daniel and ernest and now for my aunt jeannie's profile, the youngest daughter of joesph silver, part of the great silver foundry on south temple, salt lake city, utah>>>and her mother eloise from pine canyon utah in erda.>>>>i remember how my aunt jean would make scones and how "mad" my cousins tommy and mike stonbreaker would get when i showed up at the precise time she would dunk them[THE SCONES AND NOT THE COUSINS} in boiling oil, and her great home made jam and the butter to go on top of them>>>>i surely got more than my share of scones and it is obvious that my counsins felt the same way>>>>we cousins, cathy ,susan, diane, mike, tom, and me used to sit a a small closet and laugh and giggle at aunt jean's house, and my sister would kiss the boy cousins, i guess they were kissing cousins....the four silver sisters were the belles of south salt lake dressed in elegant gowns going to proms and my mother and her young sister jeannie were the prettiest of them all, BUT A sad note, my aunt was probably abused in her life because she finnaly committed suicide when i was 16 years old...she was one of the four silver girls, adel, margaret josephine and jeannie..DANILLELIA SPHOPRINEIA..we used to have parties at adel vanwinkle's mansion{named after the vanwinkle expressway}and at her pool, eating in the basement.>>i remember we had the whole basement to tear arond in while all the adults were upstairs talking and eating and we would GAZE and wonder at the elegant tennis courts and vast gardens at their home in milcreek canyon
