Nancy Perlonia J Setser is daughter of Louiza (Bell) and Elisha Russell. She is my paternal great great grandmother. As a young child I knew her four children (Elijah [Lige], E. Homer, Martha “Mattie” Loraine Setser, and Verba “Verbie” Paralee Setser Truitt. They were my great great aunts and uncles. All of them extremely loving, kind, and moral people who all lived in Ventura County, California. Aunt Mattie was disabled by polio as a child. She never married. They all moved to California in response to the drought in the midwest. My parents took us to family gatherings on Sunday afternoons at Aunt Verbie’s Kellogg Street home on Ventura Avenue.
