The time of birth is 1837-1921. In 1920, she is sitting in an office in Minneapolis, trying to get a working status in her nineties so that she can stay there. She had a niece and two grandchildren that she wanted to live with, I think the niece took the two grandchildren in, so they were Isabelle's daughter's, who was the second youngest of nine children to Isabelle. All the other kids and their families were doing their own thing. Isabelle had come to Minnesota to her niece's and accompanied the two grandchildren there because she wanted some kind of medicine for her back that she couldn't obtain in or near Costa Rica. Somehow she had been sent some and now she looked on Minnesota as like this oasis of pain relief. She figured her only problem was her aching back well I think it was sciatica(everyone seems to get back problems in my readings,lol). The niece had ended up there from some kind of working arrangement to do with teaching.

Isabelle probably would have lived longer but she slipped on a muddy patch in the street when about to cross a road, broke her hip and developed pneumonia over time from lying around incapacitated.

Her heritage was that she was a Mulattos (I've heard the term before on TV). But she called it Samba people, which I think is related to the term Zambo or Sambo. Basically, african/amerindian with white and in this case french/spanish I think. But she looked quite dark skinned and the Indian mix was Guatemalan or maybe it was from Guanacaste in Costa Rica but probably doesn't matter as they are names from the same type of indians it seems.

When she was born it was a feast day and the family looked on her as a gift from the gods (both catholic and indian gods). The feast day I think was August 16 for St Serena. She wasn't called Serena though because one of the goats had delivered a kid in the early hours of the morning and they had called it Serena, and because legend has it that Serena had been possessed by demons, they didn't want to mix up the spirits and take the name of the new goat or put goat spirits in the new baby. So she was called Isabelle after a sister-in-law to the mother because that Isabelle was so admired for her beauty and demeanour but had never had children and so became the godmother, but they never got along, because the godmother was conceited and resented being connected to the young isabelle, and offended that she had to share her name with the child.

Isabelle never knew this though, she just thought the godmother was stuck up and not very warm. Anyway, Isabelle's parents were very strict, and so she just did what was expected of her. Then she wanted to marry and became engaged at nearly 17yrs to one of the boys that lived and worked with his family on the same settlement but at the foot of the mountains like at another camp. The fathers had arranged things but Isabella had to cook and do washing for some kind of managers. She had nine children, and all survived, except one child was bitten by a snake when he was 5yrs old and had a funny eye and a weaker right side, I think, but he managed ok and pretty much did what everyone else did.

I thought Costa Rica was all lush, but where she mainly lived was a bit like a desert with cactus, and she hung washing over the cacti and on a line, however one website said there is no desert in Costa Rica so I can't work out where she went from the river area to but it was still on some large owned land because of the family have small contact with the husband's family near hills/mountains. One of the most annoying things was dust blowing over the washing, and she spent most of her week juggling washing and trying to predict better days that would be dust free. It looks like there is a type of dry desert area near Guanacaste and there are rivers around there as well.

I think she may have eventually kind of separated from her husband because she just sort of lived back in a more populated area and didn't try to contact him. Most of the kids had grown up or were older kids, maybe the youngest was 11yrs at the time and she felt freer than she had ever been in her life and became great at Christmas preparations. She sold some kind of homemade cactus jam and roselle or something which may have been hibiscus. The relish was like a spicy relish and she would get a box sent in of all bits of a type of cactus from where she used to live in the more drier area. She also had a job binding books at some kind of religious house. Where by the books would come in just stacks of printed pages in boxes, and then she and a couple of other people would assemble the books and bind them to cardboard and cover them with some kind of thin cloth sheeting. I think they were hymn books and the work was overseen by a priest. She also made milk puddings for the priests. I think she was paid in wine, for which she mainly sold but kept some for celebrations.

Hi yes, I noticed Kizzy as your name and thought it might seem odd the Issy name, but I just went with it, it seemed important to indicate the nicknames.
