    Notes:

    She attended Boonville Public Schools and was a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia, Mo. She did graduate work in the medical psychiatric social work at the University of Missouri, Tulane University, Washington University, American University and the University of Denver. During World War II she was in Hospital Service at the American Red Cross and served as assistant Field Director in several large Army hospitals in the southweSt Later she was a member of the professional staff in a number of Veterans Administration Hospitals. She was Chief Social Work Service at the VA Hospital in Excelsor Springs, Mo. and the VA Hospital in Fort Bayard, N.M. She then retired in Boonville where she was engaged in the restoration of her grandfathers home on High Street and lived there until moving to Lakeview Care Center in 1998.

    My cousin that I have mentioned so often was Elizabeth Walther, who died a couple of years ago. She lived in my grandfather's duplex at 406 East High St in Boonville. There is a picture of it in the group of pictures I sent you. I am surprised that you did not know her, as I thought everyone in town knew "Ebe". The house next door was the original Walther family home--the one that was on the Christmas Home tour. After my Uncle Bill married, I suppose my Grandfather felt he no longer needed such a large home for himself and my Aunt Dell, so he built the duplex, and Grandpa and Aunt Dell lived on the right (facing the house) and Uncle Bill and his wife, Nettie, lived on the left side. After they divorced, Aunt Nettie continued to live there with Ebe (their daughter) until she (Nettie) passed away. By that time, Ebe was either away at college or at a job which took her out of the state. Then when my Aunt Dell died, she was working out of state and trying to keep up the duplex. After a few months she found it too much, so took retirement and moved back to Boonville and into the side where Grandpa and Aunt Dell lived. There she stayed until she passed away a couple of years ago. Some of her things were sold at auction to settle her estate, and I thought maybe that was what you were remembering.
