FAMILY LIFE STORY LINE
Opening Gramma
Asaph
after Ethel Amanda
Bell and Ethel Bertie
One of the most touching stories in the Perry
family was the story of the Perry sisters Amanda Bell and Ethel
Bertie. Their sibling friendship was forged over lives that would
span 70 years of drastic change and turbulence. In this span, the
technology advanced as the
car replaced the horse and television replaced radio. Two world
wars shattered the usual tranquility associated with small town
America. A baby boom shifted the demographics of the United States
and Canton. Together, they survive a lifetime
of dramatic change, but losing one another is the only shock they
cannot survive. After Amanda Bell died in her sleep, Ethel Bertie
suffered a heart attack and died upon learning the news that her
beloved sister had died - as if to say, even death, they would remain,
together.
