Mae was deathly afraid of bad weather. She and Edwina lived on Second Street at the time of hurricane on Sept. 19, 1947.
She became so overwrought with fear that I persuaded her and Edwina to go across the street to the Sellier's house. A few days later she had the	first symptom of	the cancer	that	took
