GRANDMA MOSES
. pointing renown ends at 101
But on her 101st birthday, Sept.
7, the spunky, impound farm
woman vowed: "I'm going to
live to be 200 "
She wat alone with nurses
when she died at 3 15 p.m.
Wednesday, her physician. Dr.
Clayton Shaw, told newsmen.
She had been in an oxygen tent
most of the day, the doctor said.
Grandma recently expressed a
desire to go home, he said, but
she was "sort of indifferent to
ber surroundings lately."
Only a few weeks ago. how
ever, friends had described her
as "bright as a button" most of
the time, despite her confinement
and doctor's orders against
painting.
President John F. Kennedy
said: "The death of Grandma
Moses removes a beloved figure
from American life. The direct
ness and vividness of her paint
ings restored a primitive fresh
ness to our perception of the
American scene. All Americans
mourn her loss."
- Grandma Moses was born Anna
Mary Robertson on a farm near
Greenwich, N.Y. She went to
work at 12 as a hired girl, and
at 27 married Thomas Salmon
Moses. They settled first in Vir
ginia but later returned to up
state Kew York.
The couple bad 10 children. Her
husband died in 1927.
Later in life, her doctor or
dered her to give up farm work.
She chose as a hobby the weav
ing of pictures out of yarn. Even
tually, arthritis made it impos
sible for her to hold a needle.
Grandma then turned to paint
ing. Her first materials were
some discarded paint she found
in a barn on her farm. She never
took an art lesson.
Her paintings first were ex
hibited at county fairs. But it
was her jams and preserves that
won prizes, not her art.
