(1964 December 4)
The old bridge at Bowen's Mill went down as a man was driving over at night. Second man also went in before flares could be put up. First man had to walk to farm house all wet and cold. Passed out etc. Another man stepped on gas instead of brake and went thru Masonic Temple door.
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.
