Blind 88 Year-Old Woman Fights City Slum Clearance
In St Louis 88 year old blind widow Mary Casey Reddy remains in her burned out smoke filled Mill Creek Valley home in a landmark resistance to city plans. Despite depleting life, heat and water, she refuses to move as bulldozers clear the area for a redevelopment program. Hospitalized for dehydration and gangrene, her condition described as fair after weeks without nourishment. City officials, clergy, and relatives pleaded for her to leave, but she holds to the house given by her father and vows to stay until the Lord takes her. The housing authority says she has not relinquished ownership and the house will not be removed while she resists.
