Susan Bruce was the daughter of Jacob Bruce (1840-1915) and Anna Eliza Hopkins Bruce(1846-1918).
She was born in Gallatin County, Kentucky and married Luther Swango on 25 Nov 1897 in Gallatin County. They had three children; Clarence Luther Swango (1899-1966), Edith Swango 1902-1991, and Vernon Ray Swango (1905-1974).
From my childhood memories, she was a wonderful grandmother. Living in a four room house with the railroad tracks only a few feet away. Her home was always warm and cozy. I still remember sleeping on her feather bed when we went to visit. She had a wood stove in the living room, kitchen and cooked on a wood stove. I remember the old victrola with the hand crank, and the outhouse we use to have to use. I don't remember ever seeing a television in her home, as we were entertained by good conversation, wonderful food, and relatives that always showed up when we went came to town.
I never knew my grandfather, but my dad said he was a good, righteous man; giving his word was law.
I was only 9 years old when she went to see the Lord, but I have nothing but fond, warm, loving memories to hold for the rest of my life.
She was a wonderful woman, and grandmother.
She is still missed today.
Oh how I'd give to have just a couple of days to sit on the porch and talk with her today.
