It rained most of the time, but he called a taxi and took them to the Smithsonian Museums. They were dressed in their Sunday best. The day they left was a beautiful day and he asked a man he knew to take them for a ride. They rode around the Capital and the White House. He made three girls very happy. One time when he was away, Daphine got their mother's attention and Thelma got the car keys. Since the garage was on the Drewer new road, they pushed the car out and went for a ride. One time Marvin came home and found his car was missing. He reported it stolen and the police were there when his daughters arrived in his car. He didn't stay mad long. Each year before Easter he would buy his sister Mary's daughters their Easter outfits, selected them himself.

     She grew up in the Rehobeth area of Somerset Co, MD. She won a beauty contest when she was 16 years old and was always proud of this. She lived in Sanford, VA, after she married Ernest Stant. They moved to Pennsylvania for a short time during World War I, were Ernest worked in an ammunition factory. They were close friends with the owners of the factory. They moved to Kingston, MD, and spent most of their married life there. Ernest was a farmer and had trucks to haul produce. His son Alvin drove one of these trucks when he was 16 years old. The belived it was a sin to cut your hair or to work on Sunday. They moved to Crisfield in the early 1950's and lived on Standard Ave. After Ernest's death in 1953, Annie lived in a house on Somerset Ave for 6 months, then moved to Mariners Road and lived there until May 1985 when she moved in with her son Alvin, where she lived until her death. After Ernest's death she dated Eddie Brittingham for 10-15 years until his death. She was very independant and self-sufficient. She had a garden until she died and canned all of her food.

The only other Bridelle on the roll was Orison, who was on the Pocomoke roll in 1900, 1905, 1908 and 1917 and was removed on 7 Feb 1921. One of her favorite stories involved her marriage to Ernest G. Stant. He married him when she was only 16 years old, but it wasn't easy. Ernest's father, known as "Pop Will," did not want Ernest to marry her. The reasons were never quite clear. Everything about Annie indicated that she should have been approved. She had won a beauty contest, not surprising with her beautiful blue eyes and dark hair. She was the daughter of a well-liked couple, Grison and Laura Briddell. The Briddell family was "God fearing" and honest. Annie did indicate that Pop Will was afraid she and Ernest may ultimatley divorce because Annie's cousin, Lukie, had divorced. Pop Will was firm and emphatic about his wishes. It seems Ernest had saved $300 for his marriage. Not only did Pop Will hide his money, but he bought Ernest a truck and suggested that he go to Atlanta, GA, to live! Ernest told his friends in Sanford what Pop Will had done. In an effort to help Ernest, his friends pitched in and loaned him $300. Shortly thereafter, Annie and her Dad took the boat and went to Crisfield so she could buy her wedding dress. Annie was so pleased with her dress, especially the beautiful blue sash. Annie and Ernest were married in Pocomoke, MD. When they returned to Sanford, Pop Will grudgingly returned Ernest's $300 and Ernest repaid his loyal friends. Annie thought it was worth it, as Ernest was the best catch in Sanford. They were happily married for 42 years, until his death in 1953 (As told by their granddaughter, Susan S. Phoebus).

     According to Alvin Stant, one of Lit's great nephews, one of Lit's favorite stories was how he fooled the Federal Government. It seems that Lit was at the General Store in Sanford one day bragging about all of the money he had in his safe. Someone who was at the store that day and who didn't like Lit's bragging attitude reported him to the Internal Revenue Service. A friend of Lit's warned him that the IRS just may pay him a visit. So Lit removed most of the money from the safe and buried it in his yard. He did leave a small amount of money in the safe. Sure enough, a representative from the IRS paid him a visit and Lit told him he could gladly look in the safe because he was just about as poor as a man could be. The tax man looked in the safe and saw that Lit did not have a stash of $50,000 as rumored. Lit used this opportunity to complain that all of his friends received Social Security, but he had not received one dime, even after filing the papers. It seems that the tax man felt sorry for Lit's economic woes so he sat down at the kitchen table to gather information for Lit's Social Security. A short time later, Lit received a check for $4,000 from Social Security for back payments. He added this to his stockpile of cash and headed back to the store with a new story to tell.

     According to Peggy Ann (Bundick) Ross and Barbara Mae (Witham) Martin, there was a small girl child, that got too near the fireplace and caught fire and died. Since the 1870 Census shows an unnamed infant, 4 months old, born in May and since the next child, Dollie was born in Feb 1872, it is assumed that the unnamed infant was the child that died in the fire.
