• Notes

  Mary fell down a flight of stairs as a child. She was disfigured as a result, her back was twisted and hunched and she had to wear a block in one shoe. She wrote letters to soldiers during WW2 in an effort to boost morale. One in particular was Peter Booher. He was touched by her letters, and when the war was over they arranged to meet. She didn't know if he would accept her because of her condition, but Minnie said, "I guess he liked what he saw." They were happily married until they each died in the 1970s. (niece Jan Mercier)
