 She was living with her husband in Torrington at the outbreak of the Civil War, and can still remember how the boys in blue went off to fight for the Union, as well as the dark days which followed.

 One of her greatest pleasures is listening to the radio by means of headphones, with which she can hear perfectly well. She will give up her beauty sleep any night to listen to political speeches. and on election nights insists on staying up till the returns are all in.
