Misc. Notes
1. From a taped interview with Beatrice Wakenshaw Nov 2001: “She would come down on the train by herself (uncle Harry never came to see us) and bring us ‘just beautiful’ presents when she came. She moved to Kentucky after uncle Harry died and bought a house. A big beautiful house on a farm there in Cambellesville. Aunt Florence & uncle Chilton [Pike] bought it from her later when she got tired of it. Then she went to California, and disappeared. And to this day, nobody has been able to find out what happened to her.”
