THREE CENTURIES

We watched Free State of Jones last evening - a Civil War/post Civil War movie based on true events (and starring Matthew McConaughey). The movie reminded me of a funeral notice I had come across earlier in the day: for my grandmother on my mom's side, Carrie Murten.
Carrie was born just 18 months after the end of the Civil War, had five children, and died when I was just 7 years old - I remember seeing her bedridden near the end of her life.
