1999 Letter from Glenn Crabtree to me, Clair Zarges:

I will start with Grandma Crabtree [Sarah Ann Kinney Crabtree]] who lived with us for a time in Dover, Maine. Faith Crabtree, Uncle David's daughter (one of 13 kids) lives not far from us. When we get together she reminds me of Grandma [who was almost completely blind] saying, "My, isn't the moon beautiful tonight" while looking up at the street light. It happened every night.

Grandma always wanted to help. We let her help by drying the dishes. She would miss where she was setting them and when they hit the floor many would break. That became a "no no" rather quickly.

Then she would want to go back to the farm house in New Brunswick. Dad ( Everett Crabtree) would tell her it was too far to walk. Grandma would say "You don't have to walk all the way with me, just to the rail fence. Put my hand on the fence and I can make it the rest of the way on my own." Dad would walk her around the block and say "Let's stop here and visit some friends." This would happen several times a week. Grandma would say "You can't just bust in without knocking." Dad would say "I am sorry, you are right." Then he would knock and one of us would answer and act surprised to see her.
