A tall faced woman from Wyoming demanded registration at a distant election precinct. She challenged officials, clutched the town clerk by the ear and the board chair by the beard, and forcefully asserted her right to vote. Eventually she registered, after a tense exchange. A separate note recalls a Methodist plate-collection quip about salvation and cost. Benson on Sixth Street moved his mother-in-law’s body from an old cemetery, finding only her jaw preserved.
