Recollections of Mabel Jones (nee Mabel Dougherty)
I remember when Mrs. Hatton died.  I rode our school pony down to their place, one mile from our farm on NW.11.  I was eleven years old.  It was the first “body” I had ever seen.  Clarence took me into the veranda and showed me his mother lying in her coffin.  I remember it as if it were yesterday.  I used to go and keep Mrs. Hatton company many nights if the boys were away at band practice or a dance.  She was a wonderful lady.
