Note: "Mary Dhondt was a very pretty lady
and loved to wear big hats. When Grandpa Louie bought the
property in Chapman she cried when she got off the train (where the old
Kremers home was) because she liked living in Portland and did not want
to move to the country. But after awhile she loved it and
never
wanted to go back to the city. She went blind because of
diabetes. She died in May of 1932."
