Death
Excerpt from letter written in 1928 by Thomas H. Blakemore to Mary Louise (her mother Maud had just passed away):... The letter took me back to the time Maudie's mother (your grandmother) passed on. I think is was believed of tuberculosis. Any way Aunt Hester, when she could, would sing, "I'm going home, no more to roam," etc. At her funeral, which was in a church service, the same song was sung.
