EDITOR’S NOTE: Jaquita Adcock shared this story about her grandfather, Delbert H. Harper, who was born on Christmas Day 1909. The story came from Lisa Brewer Williams, a granddaughter of Delbert’s only sister, Ruth. This story is about them and the hardship they endured as mere children on this special Christmas Day in 1924. “Again, this is a very thought-provoking time of the year for me,” Williams wrote. “I lost my maternal grandmother on Dec. 26, 2002, at 2:30 am. Every year around this time, I reflect on this story that I was told by my grandmother, Ruth.”
