Notes for Margaret Bizub: Lived at 4400 Murray Ave , Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, Pa for over 40 years. Aunt Peg Margaret Bizub Coyne 1900 - 1992 I called her Aunt Peg. All my relatives knew her as Aunt Peg, I thought. After she died in 1992, I thought about writing my memories and maybe a biography about her life. In 1993 I contacted Nancy L. Hulick of Norfolk, Va. niece of Aunt Peg's former husband Kenneth Coyne. She told me her family knew her as Aunt Margaret. " I will say now that Aunt Margaret was very, very important to our little family of my mother, my sister, and I. She was our "extended family" Aunt Peg never really had a family of her own. But she spent two generations being our Aunt Peg, being a part of all of our families. In retrospect, I really did not know Aunt Peg a long time.. From my earliest memories, I was about 3 (1953) until I left Pittsburgh to live in Florida in the fall of 1974. That is only about twenty-one years. When I left for Florida she was still coming to Brentwood on weekends to visit Mildred as Aunt Peg called my grandmother. My grandmother called her Peg. I have a photo of the two of them together taken in my grandmother's 2nd Floor apartment across and a block down from her old house , 3863 Brownsville Road. I took that photo in August, 74 shortly before I came to Florida. Aunt Peg's life was an example for the rest of us to follow. All of us who knew her should feel lucky to have had an Aunt Peg or to aspire to be an Aunt Peg. Aunt Peg died at Kane Hospital in McKeesport, Pa just after midnight in the early hours of May 1st 1992. On the morning of May 1st Dorothy Jean called to tell me the news. I do not think anyone was there with her at the time but I felt relieve that it was over for her and she was out of that place. I am writing this because Aunt Peg was my favorite relative. The Bizub Genealogy and the others I have done should be more than names, dates, and places. It is about us. So I wanted to write about some of us. I hope to write about others in the future but I wanted to write about Aunt Peg first of all. She should not be forgotten. My experience with genealogy has led me to ponder why people live so long and are forgotten so quickly. What do you really know about your parents, grandparents, great grandparents and their siblings? Just stop to think about it. What were there lives all about? Where did they live and work? Who were their friends? What were they like as parents, aunts, uncles, and friends? Who did they know? Where did they travel? What did they experience in their lives? It is all about telling your children so that all of your memories will not be forgotten or soon you will be next to be forgotten. It amazes me that whole lives are forgotten in just a generation and relatives loose all contact with one another. I would think the relationships were more important. My earliest memories of Aunt Peg were at my grandparent's house on Brownsville Road. Maybe I was 3 years old. Some memories my not be exactly right but I am now a year older 51, than Aunt Peg was when I was born in Oct 1950. I remember staying over Saturday nights at my grandmother's house. Many times. Aunt Peg would always come on Saturday afternoon on the Brentwood Bus. It stopped almost directly across the street. The bus would stop. Then it would pull away and Aunt Peg would be standing there. I would watch for her. She always had shopping bags. I think She always stopped at Kaufman's Department store. She had a Kaufman's shopping bag or several. Maybe some from Horne's or Gimbel's too. In those bags she must have carried some clothes for her over night stay but she always had some goodies in those bags, something to eat or some little present for me. Actually she had things for everyone. Aunt Peg would always arrive wearing a black dress and carrying shopping bags. She was probably a little over weight about the same build as my grandmother and that dress was a good fit. As I got older I imagined she must have had all black dresses and I don't recall her wearing any other color but I am sure she must have had other colors. The dress was solid black and of a heavy fabric. I think she had short sleeves in summer and long in winter She always wore jewelry, rings, bracelets and a pin. She Bracelets on one or both wrists many thin silver bracelets and they would jangle. I don't know that she wore a watch. She also wore several rings, one a diamond and a gold or silver pin on her dress. Some times she would bring her yellow parakeet Hoppy. I think Hoppy died in the early 60's. I remember asking about him and she told me he had died when either she or someone had sprayed insecticide, probably on the floor or around the windows near his cage. I imagine a can of that Black Flag insect killer. Birds will die if you do that and that is what happened. I am sure she must have been heart broken to find Hoppy in his cage. He was her only pet. I am sure she must have had Hoppy along time because he could talk. I can't remember what Hoppy could say but I remember him talking. Aunt Peg must have spent a lot of time teaching him. I have a photo of Hoppy on my head when I was maybe 2 or 3 years old. One Saturday night she took me for a walk up to "Whitehall" the shopping center just a few blocks away on Brownsville Road. We went to Murphy's next to Hornes. Murphys had all kinds of cheap stuff. Toys too, like the gun that shoots the rubber darts with the suction cups on the tip. On Saturday nights at my grandmother's She or my grandmother would make popcorn or something with ice cream in it for me, maybe a banana split, a coke float or a milkshake. And I can remember her reading nursery rhymes to me, like Mother Goose. When I think of nursery rhymes I think of her. Sunday afternoons, late about 4 to 6 pm she would leave. She would go out and catch the Brentwood bus going in the opposite direction. It stopped on our side of the street at the corner. Next to the house was a gravel alley, Brednick Ave. I never new it even had a name. The bus stopped at the corner on the other side of that alley. I never went out to stand and wait with her. I think sometimes my grandmother may have. I always thought it was sad to see her leave. She probably left earlier in winter and later in summer. I didn't know the bus took her into down town Pittsburgh where she would change buses to get the bus to Squirrel Hill. I left Pittsburgh and moved to Florida Oct 5th 1974. It was sometime after that, I don't remember when, no one ever called to tell me, Aunt Peg had a stroke. She was in Kane Hospital on Bowerhill Rd in Mt Lebanon. She was in a wheel chair and confined to the hospital. I don't know much about this part of her life. But I remember visiting her there. When my grandmother died in Dec 1982 I came back for the funeral. I drove out to Kane hospital with my brother Chris and his girlfriend who was a nurse to get Aunt Peg and bring her to the funeral. It was at St. Sylvester's in Brentwood. I don't recall her being religious at all or going to church. Aunt Peg was not able to speak well but I knew she understood. I remember at the funeral looking back at aunt Peg. I think it is the only time I ever saw her cry. That may have been one of the saddest moments of Aunt Peg's life. Mildred and Peg were very close sisters. After the funeral we took Aunt Peg back to the house on Norwin Dr where my mother lived at the time in Baldwin Boro. Later in the evening we took her back to Kane. She hated to have to go back. That was the only time I am aware of that she was out of the hospital. In the 80's, I don't know exactly when she was transferred to Kane hospital in McKeesport. On all my visits to Pittsburgh she was always the first person and the last person I would visit. Visiting Aunt Peg was always very difficult for me but I got used to it. She seemed very well cared for and the hospital and her room were very nice. But if you ever visit nursing homes you know what it can be like. I do not know that she got many visitors. One time a nurse thanked me for coming. On one visit she was still the same Aunt Peg. She went to her closet and tried to give me something. I don't recall what it was but I found and fixed her radio and got her the new batteries it needed. I wish I could have been in Pittsburgh so I could have visited her more regularly. In later years I wrote letters to her. Dorothy Jean would visit her regularly and read them to her. Then she would send me a letter back about Aunt Peg. July 2, 1988 I visited Aunt Peg at Kane Hospital the day before the Bizub Re-union held at The Dillon's in Julian, Pa. It was a nice sunny July day. I brought her outside in her wheel chair. Bob and Lois and Christie Cory arrived just after we got outside. I took some video that day. She would be 88 in 2 days, July 4th. The last time I saw Aunt Peg was in November 1991. I took Debbie, Aunt Florence and my mother with me. It was early afternoon and Aunt Peg was now in another room than the last time I was there. She was asleep. I think she was now asleep most of the time. I am not sure if she even knew we were there. Aunt Flo tried to wake her and talk to her but she wouldn't wake up. She looked very old and much different than the Aunt Peg I knew. I remember thinking she looked more like pictures of her mother when she was old. Her ear seemed much more prominent. We all sat there in the hospital room with her about 30 minutes. When we left I stayed behind for a minute. I took one last look at her. I thought it would be the last time I would see her. I said good- bye and left Kane hospital for the last time. 4200 Murray Ave in Squirrel Hill. This was Aunt Peg's address for more than 40 years. Today there is a parking lot for a Giant Eagle grocery store on the site where her Apartment building once stood at the corner of Murray Ave and Lilac St. in Squirrel Hill. I still remember her apartment and spent the night there once. Her Apartment building was a three story kinda yellow brick building. Facing Murray Ave on the 1st floor was at one time a grocery store, and many other businesses over the years. Then going around the corner on the sidewalk to Lilac St and up the slight hill. Actually she had two entrances. First was a door onto the street that entered her living room. Then you past her living room window and then was the main entrance to the building on the 2nd floor. It had a large square flat roof structure extended out from the building over the sidewalk at the door with a distinctive hanging light. As I remember the light was tube shaped. It was a black iron looking frame with glass inside and hanging from the underside center of the roof. Inside was a short hallway straight back to the left and stairs going up to the right. At the back of the hall was the entrance to her dining room. Once inside her small narrow kitchen area was to the left and back. On the opposite side of the dining room and the opposite side of the building from the entrance were several windows in a row. It the corner to the right of the windows was a back door to a small yard. To the left of the windows in the corner was where Hoppy's cage would hang from a birdcage stand. I the middle of the room was a table. It looked like she did her work there. I was covered with papers. To the left past the kitchen was an opening to the rest of the apartment. Thru the opening to the left was the living room, to the right was the bathroom and to the right and across the small hallway was the bedroom. In her living room I remember everything looking old and that is from the prospective of an eight year old maybe. We are talking 1958 maybe. I remember she had the oldest telephone. It was different than anything I have ever seen. I can't recall her telephone number. It was Murray something. Then there was a small throw rug. She kept her money under it. It seemed like a lot of money to me. On the left of the room was a closet. Who knows what goodies she kept in there. On the outside wall was the window then the TV and the door to the street. To the right was a long narrow wormy cherrywood coffee table and a couch. I can remember that coffee table being in my grandmother's house at one time and Michael O'Shea had it at his house when I visited him in 1992. Where is it now? In the bedroom all I remember was she had many small bottles of perfume in those small atomizer bottles on her small vanity to the left and a bed in the center of the room and windows to the right. I do not remember how long I stayed there, One night or several. One day she took me with her visiting many people at their homes mostly. There was only one place I remember and it was at the top of a long flight of concrete stairs like you see around Pittsburgh. We were going to see a woman who lived in a big old house. Actually I think we walked everywhere and when you are about 8 years old everything seems bigger and further. In the evening we walked to a movie theatre a few blocks away. I remember her apartment generally being a little dark and disorderly. This was maybe the only time I was ever inside. Usually if you took her home on a Sunday night from Brentwood she would just get out of the car at her door and you wouldn't go in. Many parts of her life I don't know much about, her childhood, her marriage to Kenneth Coyne, and her numbers business. She was born in Osceola Mills, the 3rd child of Mary and William Bizub on the 4th of July 1900. She married Kenneth Coyne. When she pregnant with twins she was in a car crash and lost them. She never had any children after that. And I do not remember Aunt Peg ever driving a car. Her occupation was illegal. She was in the numbers business, something I never understood. I do not know if it still goes on today. I think it was like the present day state lotteries. You bought or "played " a number. I can remember talk about playing numbers. Aunt Peg was arrested once I have heard but do not know any details. She liked to make popcorn on Saturday nights. She liked teaberry gum. I guess you can chew gum without any teeth. She didn't smoke as far as I know. I suspect she was a character and maybe a little wild in her younger years. Jack McDermott, a Christoff descendant who grew up in Houtzdale said, "she was a devil" I think was what he told me once when I asked if him knew the Bizub's in Osceola Mills. I know she traveled out west to Arizona. Visited Phoenix and the Grand Canyon. In the 50's she visited Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. One weekend when I was about 9 we were at a farmhouse that my Uncle Ken had bought or was using somewhere outside of Pittsburgh, she gave me she gave me my first transistor radio. I still have a small ceramic Boxer dog she gave me when I was about 10. When I was 11 she gave me some old coins, some Indian head pennies, silver dollars, old nickels and dimes and other coins. No all at once but she got me interested in collecting old coins and I imagine it has influenced me in many other ways too. That was probably my first experience with investing and it has influenced my entire life. If anyone of you who knew her would like to add your thoughts, stories, corrections, clarifications send them to me and I will add them in with you name.
