best, thinking she possibly might
still be alive and that We would
find her in some of the hospitals. I
searched all OF them and finally it

could hope for would be to find the
body. Even this seemed almost
hopeless until I finally found her at
the Horan's morgue on Eighteenth
street. She was terribly burned. !"
