Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.

Spencer Carrier
And yet some how, some way, out of the the past Spencer Carrier came to see her one day. I didn't know what to expect and came wonderingly down the stairs from my room. He was such a nice man! Just a little Mortimer-Sneerd-y - that deep guffaw: alugh! It sort of went out all over and all over us. He was a small person and wore a dark grey suit - straight tan hair - guess maybe a mustache. As I recall he didn't stay to dinner, only the afternoon. Cousin Frankie was pleased, but not altogether at ease. Unexpected company frequently makes us feel that way. I was always glad I saw him, tho, and knew how nice he was.
