She’s the crazy lady who made the beautiful hats (a shoppe down on Grace St.) , probably made the quilt pieces we have; sold parsley., which she delivered by bus, to restaurants downtown, laid concrete walk, etc. also painted the picture of Mount Pleasant. A gifted, energetic, and as I remember, strange lady. Early 30’s made hats for dance studios. Another story is that hearing a noise outside (someone in the chicken house?) she raised the window by her son’s bed, and fired (shotgun?) He had convulsions and died.
