She sewed and made hats for people and painted pictures, she was very artistic. She also was a club lady belonging to several. She was also quite a church going lady and use to walk clear across town and up a steep hill to get to church on Sundays and other church meetings during the week. She was in a rest home about 2 miles outside of Bonaparte and did not like being there. She felt she should be in her home where she had resided for many many years. One evening she decided to go home. She took her walker and walked over gravel roads to get home. This was quite a feat since she was blind in one eye and had partial paralysis on one side. She was quite a lady. Of course her family had decided she would be safer and have the best of medical care and returned her to a rest home. —— Dodds - Morrison Mr. Harry Dodds - Miss Minnie Morrison were married at Keosauqua wed Sept 2, 1908.
