Louella Golden Guillet (Acra) 1916 - 2006

Lou Acra (1916-2006)

July 1997

Mountaineer Echo Newspaper Week of January 26, 2006 issue: Mrs. Louella GOLDEN GUILLET, age 89, died Thursday, January 5, 2006. She was born October 11, 1916 in Middletown, Ohio, the second oldest of seven children to Walter ACRA and Nellie STAPLES. She graduated from Middletown High School in 1934. She retired in 1968 as a secretary with Monsanto Chemical in Miamisburg, Ohio and moved with her husband Ross GUILLET, to Lakeview Arkansas. She was a hospice Volunteer, helped found and was a Volunteer for the Baxter County Arkansas Library and wrote a newspaper column for the Lake River Times in Bull Shoals, Arkansas for several years. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ross in 1995; her parents; sisters, Meredith PECK, and Jan BACK; and her brother, Milton ACRA. Mrs. GUILLET is survived by her son; four stepdaughters; one brother; two sisters; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. 

She was born Oct 11, 1916 in Middletown, Ohio to Charles and Nellie Ruth Staples Acra.  Second of seven children.  I always knew her as Grandma Lou and until I was 8 or 9, I did not know she was a step grandma.  Though she was not my biological grandmother, I always thought of her as such since she married my grandpa before I was born.  She sent letters often (always typed).  She was one of the nicest people you'd meet.  She was married in Sep. 1934 to Milan Alexander and had a son, James Alexander (last known to me living in Virginia in 2007), from that marriage.  They were divorced in 1947.  She married my Grandpa Ross Guillet April 24, 1964

Lauretta Elizabeth Guillet (Monroe) 1913 - 1963

1938

Lauretta Monroe was born April 10, 1913, the fourth and last child of Frank Forest and Dorothy Phillips Monroe, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio.  1913 was a year long remembered because of flooding caused by heavy rains in the Ohio River Valley.

Lauretta (Laurie or Rett) enjoyed a normal childhood, probably pampered because she was the youngest child and only girl.  She participated in sports and loved to go fishing.  Following high school she entered Western Reserve University School of Nursing and graduated in 1935.

She worked hospital, private duty, and clinical nursing, and several summers as a camp nurse at Ho Mita Koda (a camp for diabetic children).  It was at camp that she met Ross Guillet.  They were married August 13, 1938.

She was the proud mother of four daughters (Dorothy, Linda, Jane and Sally) who reflected her loving care and interest.  Camping with her family was a great joy.  She was involved with the Red Cross and Church activities.

Lauretta was diagnosed with brain cancer.  She is not in the video of Linda's wedding September 1962 she was mostly hospitalized in her final year of life.  My father describes her battle with cancer very difficult.  She succumed to cancer in Ohio Februaury 27, 1963 after a long hard fight. 

It has never been pursued as far as I know but her husband worked with Polonium for years and I wonder if there was a connection to her cancer.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium#Toxicity

George Herbert Potts

George Herbert Potts was born July 31, 1878 in  Manchester, England (a less reliable account states he was born in Yorkshire).  His parents were Edward Potts and Sarah Ackroyd.  George studied Civil Engineering at Cambridge University in England. George was married Dec 26, 1903 in Bolton, Lancashire, England to Mary Yates  They had one child, Lucy Yates Potts.  George left Mary.  He came to the United States by way of Canada.

While working as an engineer on a crane explaining what needed to be done, he fell.  He was badly injured and was hospitalized.  While in the hospital he met Lydia Stone Hoyt.  They were married.  Berry Vernon, son of Lucy Yates, records the date of George's marriage to Lydia as May 3, 1909.  George and Lydia's daughter in law, Wilda, told me the marriage was not legal and writes that George was not a US citizen ans that it caused Lydia to need to be "repatriated in October 1943 in Toledo, Ohio."

They had four children:  Herbert Jay Potts born in Denver, Colorado Aug 19 1910,  Ada Margaret Kinsella (Potts) born in Cleveland, OH August 10 1906, Elsa Wallace Florian (Potts) born Sep 6, 1913.  and Wallace Potts Hoyt (Hoyt Potts) born in Norwalk, Ohio March 17, 1917.

George died of Tuberculosis July 4, 1942 in Green Springs, Ohio.
