She had a lame foot and walked with a limp.

Aunt Frank fibbed about her age by eight years allowing her to appear but one year older than Uncle Fred rather than near nine. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and avidly interested in pursuing her Mayflower Descendant lineage from the Pilgrim George Soule through his youngest daughter Patience Soule Haskell.
