The Famous or Infamous Witmore family

The Witmore's always knew that they were a family of high class and priviledge in there small and very poor community. There were those who disliked them in there town simply because they had more than they did, then there were the families that disliked them for far more scandalous reason's all together. They wanted what they had and tried to befriend or even seduce members of the Witmore clan to get at what they had. All was in vain every time however, nobody could ever quite understand it. They only stayed with each other never made any outside friends or dates even. The girls were beautiful by the towns standered and the boys quite handsome too. There were eight children in all, four boys and four girls all very close in age. There Mother had always been sickly like for many years now, she wasn't always that way however just since she desided to raise her family it seemed her parents had been known to say often. They blamed it on her Husband's bad jugement living so far out in the country, away from good medical care. Her family were from a long line of what is known today as old money, doctor's and lawyer's, Mother's who held oppinions on PTA school board meetings and healthcare functions. She married against her families wishes into new money and even worse a farming family. They would never again give her one dime of support she was cut out completely. She was a true dreamer and optomist, however and never could foresee any harm coming there way she just wanted a nice big family out in the counrty were her children wouldn't have all the cares and worries of city life, cleaner air fresh food, and always active outdoor times a real childhood she herself never had. Yes, they were newer money, but many times over richer than her own parents yet another reason for there distain. This family had just won a very large lottery, they never really worked for there money her parents would argue, She simply had to remind them that they had always worked every day of there lives hard in the fields what more could be asked of them. So, it was Veronica Smith became Veronica Witmore.
