Biography

Pearl lived in Plainfield CT and was a member of the Calvary Chapel in Canterbury and a member of the Danielson Woman's Relief Corps. The following poem was printed: "A Tribute To Mrs Otto Opperman (Pearl)

To all of us who loved and knew Have lost a friend, loyal and true. With tears and a heart of heaviness I'll never forget her love and tenderness. You all know her as Pearl of "Fiddler's Daughter" Always full of love and laughter We shared our little secrets And Oh! so many trinkets. The many good times and countless calls on phone I'll oft recall them, as I sit alone, God in His tenderness has called her Home I'm sure she is there, on His great Throne Just one last word to my dear Pal To all of us, you were one swell gal. Yes, my dear, we shall keep our last and latest date For, Lord willing, I shall meet you at Heaven's Gate.

Mrs. Curtis (Mabel) Kinne, Canterbury" ^[1]
