 Rose French met Carlan after she had moved to Wilmington, a small town about 15 miles away. Four years ago they were married.
 While her husband was away at war, the stove-heated house was often cold because of the lack of fuel. She refused to give up her telephone because she said, she wanted it there so that Carlan could call her the minute he reached port.
