Thyra left and her cousin Katherine

Katherine is Ed & Lola Elliott Cheep's daughter, just 6 weeks older
than Thyra. At this writing, Thyra at age 94 still recalls that she had
been crying when the picture was taken, because, even at that early age,
the cousin 6-weeks older, was already beginning to act the bully.
She had knocked Thyra out of the chair.
That plus other unkind acts throughout their childhoods caused
Thyra to remember the cousin with distaste.
