Abstract
In the summer of 1933 an eighty-eight-year-old woman boarded a train in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where she had been living with her daughter for the previous four years, and traveled north to spend a few weeks with her son and his family in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. This had become an annual journey in recent years; it was cooler there on the shores of Lake Michigan, and she loved spending time with her grandchildren, who were then entering adolescence. As it happened, this would be the last time she saw them, since she died, peacefully in her sleep, just before Christmas that year.
