Effie Roberta Hutt

Effie (Neenah's mother) was born July 6, 1884 and died Oct. 4, 1944.  She was the daughter of Elizabeth Lee Broun ("Betty Lee") and Charles Warren Hutt.  It is through Betty Lee that our family is connected to the Lees - the Cobbs Hall Line.  Her father, who I'll write more about later, was a Civil War soldier, who fought at Gettysburg on July 5, 1863.  He was captured and a prisoner at Point Lookout, Maryland until Feb 13, 1865.  Do not know alot about Effie.  Mom would say what beautiful hair she had, auburn color, I believe.  Also, guess what Effie would carry around in her apron pocket?   A kitten.  Hope others will add anything they remember being told about her.
