Improvements, changes

Lots can happen in a couple of years.  When I first started this blog to get the info out to my Imm family, the history was 'as I knew it to be'.  Things change.. People change.. The frame of our genealogy listings has changed.  More information leads to the changes, Death leads to those changes as well as Births. 
Hopefully, we can keep up with the older generations, but we need the present generation to keep us aprised of new happenings..  Just sayin'

Edwin Osman Imm

As per Bob Imm, "Our dad was camera shy and disliked having his picture taken. He was bald and almost always had a 'railroaders cap' on his head..even indoors.When he and Aida married, they lived for a while at Grandma Davis' home at 844 Third Ave, New Kensington , and attended the Salvation Army for a few years. They bought the Logan's Ferry home from the Vos Camps who were wealthy, lived on the North Side (Allegheny City) of Pittsburgh and had some kind of business there. This house was their summer home, thus the reason for a porch the full length of the front plus half of the side along the road. Edwin lived there 25 years:1918-1943, and Aida lived there 57 years: 1918-1975, and as such, should probably be called the family home. ALL of the children lived there, but not all children were born there."
Worked in the tin mill as a roller. A hard worker. Later worked for the Plum Township School District in the Logan's Ferry school where he did janitorial service.
Edwin was called "Lefty" by most people. He was about 5'4", tall and somewhat round belly. He smoked Cutty Pipe tobacco in home-rolled cigarettes. Occasionally he smoked Prince Albert and other pipe tobaccos in a corncob pipe and other pipes. He sniffed Copenhagen snuff to make himself sneeze because he had a moderate asthma. Occasionally, he slept in a black leather rocker by the bay window in the living room so he could breathe easier. He liked some drinks once in a while; mostly home brew and whiskey. He enjoyed singing, especially barbershop harmony.
Lefty could do almost any home handicraft. He soled his children's shoes with slices of automobile tires and leather belting. The soles never wore out. He could do woodwork; he made several chains from a solid piece of walnut. Lefty had very good gardens and fruit trees. He planted corn, tomatoes, carrots, beans , cabbage for homemade sauerkraut, potatoes, lettuce, turnips, rutabagas, onions,etc.The fruit trees included sweet and sour cherries, purple and white grapes, pears, Baldwin and winter apples, red currants, mulberries, and peaches. There was asparagus, horseradish, watercress, and rhubarb. He had a cider press and apple chopper that made both cider and vinegar. Homemade wine, peach brandy, dandelion wine were among the brews. He made ice cream by hand and bottled his own Hires root beer and put the bottles in the sun each day to ferment. Of course, many blew up!
Lefty had a left handed scythe to cut grass (hay). He was a disciplinarian with his children. He was a solid Republican, but thought FDR was the greatest person alive..he was ready to fight if you said a bad word about FDR... "A Democrat, and the only good Democrat". He measured a person's wealth by the number of friends he had.. He was the wealthiest man to have lived.
Died of ruptured appendix.Was an herbalist.
