Matte Mae Bonham was born in the old house in Hunlock Creek, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, on 27 March, 1883.

Grandma Mattie Mae's birthday has always been special to me because my own daughter, Brenda Hixson Francis was also born on March 27.

This beautiful pencil sketch of the old home was done from a small photo in very poor condition, by my dear cousin, Dennis Orgill.
