My Grandma died last week. But it was a happy event for our family. She was 101 and was ready to go to heaven.
About 1906
Roosevelt was the American President
The Prime Minister was Henry Campbell-Bannerman (In fact he was the first Prime Minister)
Sadly Liverpool won the first division title
More happily Everton won the FA Cup
The first radio broadcast in 1906
Cornflakes where invented in 1906
Of course the main world event of 1906 was the San Fancisco earthquake.
Grandma was 6 when the First World War started
She was 33 when the Second World War started
Grandma left school and went to work in the cotton mills of Burnley when she was only young.
She went to the Salvation Army Training College, her flag was removed from the main assembly hall recently to make way for newer flags.
There is a small book that she wrote with the help of my mum, of her life which is really interesting.
Grandma shared her birth and death year with Albert Hofman, the man who invented LSD??!!
