My Grandma Lilly has told me that a memory of hers living on Irvine Flats in the 1930's concerns Mrs. Gottlieb. Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb were fellow homesteaders along with the Halversons.
On one occasion, Lilly remembers that her and Harold (her first husband) were visiting with Rose and George Halverson (Harold's parents and other homesteaders. This was after Georgie was born (born in 1933) and Lilly was holding him.
Mrs. Gottlieb was insistent that Lilly put the baby down to rest. Lilly remembers that Mrs. Gottlieb said emphatically, "Put the baby down, put the baby down." I think that Lilly continued to hold Georgie.
Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb were both short people who adopted a son while living on Irvine Flats.
Lilly said that the son, when he grew older, would go over a big bump by the Kasseroler house and scare everyone as they thought he would get injured.
