She spent many happy years in Crisfield especially the time she spent at Aunt Sallie’s home in Calvary. She married John Otis Ford, also from Crisfield, and they had eleven children. Effie loved to read and write stories for her children and grandchildren. She always hoped her stories would one day be published for all to enjoy.
