<p>[QUOTE="Bdigger, post: 411016, member: 157"]Here is a little insight into the woman......She was a hoarder of sorts.....when you entered her house, the living room was stacked with newspapers all neatly stacked, but you just had a small pathway to get through. No "junk" just newspapers. The rest of the house was pretty much "clear" of stuff. I suppose this explains why all of these letters she has ,have related Newspaper clippings stuffed in the envelopes.</p><p>One of the upstairs bedrooms was stacked full of neatly stacked boxes. I mean FULL. Inside the boxes were egg cartons, inside the egg cartons were blown out egg shells. The story is in the 30's one of her neighbors was doing craft projects with blown out egg shells, and asked her to save some for her. She never stopped.</p><p>In her desk , we found a little bag of candy with a note inside that read.....These candies were given to me in October 1932 by so and so,,,,on the occaision of my wedding to Melvin Talbot.
