Nian was my Maternal Great-Grand-Mother. She lived in North-Eastrn Oklahoma most of her life. Her husband Sandford Englett worked for the roads department and they did do some traveling. She and Sanford had one daughter, Barbara Englett-Rand, but divorced later and she never remarried. She lived in Muskogee, Oklahoma for the rest of her life.

She was a kind and gentle soul, but wouldn't take any guff off of anyone. She was not to be lied to or taken advantage of. She was a delicate woman who always carried herself with pride and took special care to be presentable and polite. I loved her dearly…

Nickname:
Nian was a nickname the family all used for her. It came from Penelope Rand, her Grand Daughter, not being able to say something, like nanna or the like. Nian, pronounced Nine, was her name from then on.
