She and my Great Grandfather George once lived in the Morning Glory Bungalow that my Aunt and Uncle now live in. I have pictures of Bessie standing on the very same walkway that is still there today with two of her sisters, Gertrude and Flavilla.

She passed away on January 10, 1967 and she is with my Great Grandfather at the Pine Grove Cemetery in Lynn, MA.
