I wanted to let readers the latest news about Mary Pauline. [Mary Pauline is the daughter of our father's brother, Edward.  She is the last of three.  Her older brother died in a car accident in the 40's.  Her twin sister died of a car accident in the 60's.]  She is now in an extended care facility in Great bend, Kansas, and when Margaret talked with her a couple days ago, Margaret said she seemed a bit like her old self. Margaret isn't sure that Mary (us kids always called her Pauline but I've noticed she also goes by Mary) knows what happened to Ralph so if anyone chooses to send her a card, send either a Get Well or a Christmas card in lieu of a sympathy card. I'll put her address at the end of this post. Ralph died on November 29 and was buried in Marshfield on December 17. The burial was handled by Fraker Funeral Home, I guess the one in Marshfield. Joe found the death notice in the Springfield News-Leader Press. There wasn't any more information, just the death notice. Send cards to: Mary Pauline Austin Great Bend Health and Rehab 1560 K-96 Highway Great Bend, KS 67530
