- Grace CUMMINS is the author's sister.
- "Grace Lettie was born on the Cummins' farm at Putney, South Dakota on March 13, 1904, the last of seven children."
- "Grace entered first grade at age six in the Garfield grammar school... After four years at Garfield grammer school Grace finished two more years of school at the Lincoln elementary school... When she was ready to enter the seventh grade her parents returned to the farm and so she had the experience of attending a two-room country school."
- "When she was ready for high school the family moved back to Aberdeen and Grace graduated from the Aberdeen high school in 1918." - "She was a high school senior when her father died and this changed the family living plan. She and her mother moved to an apartment and she attended the State Teachers' College for her freshman college work. The following summer she and her mother went to Bellingham, Washington. Grace spent the next three years at the University of Washington from which she graduated in 1926 with a B. S. degree in Home Economics, having specialized in Institutional Management."
- "In the fall of 1926 she accepted a position as Assistant Manager, Eat Shops, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota, where she remained until February 1, 1927."
- "Upon terminating her employment she returned to Bellingham, Washington to prepare for her marriage to Harry Albert HANSON, culminating a University of Washington romance. The wedding was delayed until March 12, 1927 because Harry was ship wrecked off Kodiak Island in Alaska while on a scientific investigation of the halibut fish and their habits."
- "Harry's profession, that of fisheries biologist, kept the family on the move for some years. The first summer of their marriage (1927) was spent on the lakes of northern Minnesota where Harry was doing research for the Minnesota Department of Fish and Game. Fall found Grace and Harry at the Marine Biological Station, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Harry went to Wildwood, New Jersey to begin the summer's field work for the United States Bureau of Fisheries. In October the family returned to Woods Hole for the winter."
- "In the spring of 1929 they went to Hampton, Virginia for Harry to begin his summer work. This was a big adjustment for the family. Housing was difficult to locate, the climate was unpleasant to the northerners and a great difference from New Englanders was found in the attitudes of the people."
- "Harry was transferred to Lorain, Ohio in the spring of 1930. On August 12th of that year their son Harry Albert, Jr. was born... in June, 1932 he received his Master's degree at the University of Minnesota... The family went west in the fall in time for Harry to enroll at the University of Washington. Grace and the children stayed with Grace's mother and sister, Nora, in Bellingham until June, 1933 when they moved to Seattle."
- "Harry accepted a position with the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries at Stanford University in Palo Alto in 1934 and the family moved to Palo Alto... After two years in Palo Alto another move was made to the Baird Salmon Hatchery near Redding, California and then in March, 1942 to Red Bluff, California where for the first time roots were put down."
- "In the fall of 1942 Grace became employed as manager in the Red Bluff Office of Price Administration where she remained until the close of World War II. She then worked for a short while for the Farmers Home Administration, the California State Department of Employment and then accepted a position as a Social Worker in the Tehama County Welfare Department. She is now [1958] the supervisor of the Shasta County Welfare Department."
- "Two children have been born to Grace and Harry as follows: 1. Gwen Harriet Hanson; 2. Harry Albert Hanson, Jr."
