    3. While looking through some of my mother's collection of old recipes, clippings, etc., I found the name "Lulu WHARTON" who had given my grandmother a recipe for date pudding probably about 1920 or so. In the 1910 census I found what I believe to be Lulu's family in Mahaska County, Cedar Township, living near the Sigafoos and Akerman families. I know these were all acquaintances and probably neighbors of my grandmother, whose name was Mary MASTERS. Lulu Wharton was born about 1900 and the hand written recipe (probably in Lulu's own writing) probably dates from around 1920 or so. If anyone from this family wants this memento of Lulu, I'll be glad to send it to you. I don't really know anything about these families (other than Masters) except that I've heard the names in conversation during my childhood. I think Lulu's real name may have been Lucy.
