Grandpa Louie bought the property in Chapman she cried when she got off the
train (where the old Kremers home was) because she liked living in Portland and
did not want to move to the country. But after awhile she loved it and
never wanted to go back to the city. She went blind because of diabetes.
She died in May of 1932."
