  1. This is the first mention of "Vanie" - Sylvania Keim. I remember hearing "Aunt Vanie" come up a lot as a kid. She was my Nana's aunt and lived to be over 100. She died in the house I grew up in. Actually, several of my ancestors died in the house I grew up in. In one story, so-and-so died in the middle of a blizzard and had to be laid out on a board in the attic until the snow was cleared enough to get him out.
