Margaret would have been a more reliable source, but she was very upset at the time because Fate died at home in his chair. He had gone out to do some grafting on the fruit trees and when he came back in the house, he told Margaret that he was a little tired and was going to take a nap. He never woke up. Since he died at home, the coroner's office had to be called and they took forever to get there. So, Margaret had to sit alone with her dead husband's body for several hours. I think it took a greater toll on her then most realized. She talked about being alone with Fate's body for several years afterwards. All the best, Fran
