Holland,
The story told to you by that inmate sounds believable, based on things I
have read about Frances Bavier living in Siler City. Apparently she became
more and more of a recluse as she got older, almost never interacted with
anyone, and had a lot of cats.
JOE from G.I

Thank you for your story. I enjoyed reading it and it brought a smile to my
face and almost a tear to my eye. I had to fight it. Thanks again.
