Tenia made her home virtually all her life in the Edna area. She was born in Indian Territory in which is now Oklahoma. She was a member of the Edna United Methodist Church and SBA. She died in Mercy Hospital in Parsons, Kansas, following an operation for a leg bone fracture suffered the Saturday before in her home.
The following excerpt is take from a letter written by one of her granddaughters, Esther Hoke Moreland: "Grandma McBride used to tell us things that happened to her when she was a little girl (criteria 1890). Grandma would tell us a story that when she was little her folks homesteaded southeast of Edna. Her father would plant a section of corn ... and let the Indians who came through every year ... camp there and hold their Green Corn Dances on his farm. Grandma would show us beaded things she had kept since a child... The Indians gave her some little leather things that she had kept and she passed them on to me."
As the caretaker of this memorial to my great great grandmother I am fortunate to have in my possession her beautiful hand-carved rocker. It was her mothers and came with her parents when they came to Labette County from Bedford, Indiana.
