(Lyndon 23)
I think I went to the funeral alone. Daddy phoned and told me to keep my chin up and he'd be home as fast as he could; he had seen the papers. I recall there were some from Ripon ... [more from Fond du Lac]. The young man, very nice looking in a dark suit (cannot think of his name: A--? G--? (Gutreiter? perhaps) shook hands with me and spoke very well expressing his sympathy.
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.
