Tacie Paul

"...she was one of the first girls who ever went to Swarthmore (I think I told you that) because her father collected the money with this little committee and founded Swarthmore. And he sent his daughter there and other women members of the family. My mother's first cousins went there and they were there with her. Anyway, she had an education the same as I did in a little Friends school, Quaker school, in a town called Cinnaminson, New Jersey, where she lived and was brought up.

... It is the anniversary quite recently of the founding of Cinnaminson. And in it they give a photograph of my grandfather's home. He was the judge of that community and had probably one of the biggest homes, with enormous grounds around it and so on, which was recently bought by Campbell's Soup. It is so pitiful, you know, that you can't keep these old homes. My grandfather's son, oldest son, inherited this property and died shortly after. His widow, not knowing anything I guess about business at all, was induced to sell it for a large sum to the Campbell Soup. So then they demolished this whole beautiful old building. That was my mother's education. She went to a Friends school and then went to Swarthmore and then married her year she would have graduated, but she didn't finish.

...she married the year she could have graduated. I believe it was the year."
