After Pauline's second stroke, Maria went to Mesa to take care of her mother while caretaker Elsie was on vacation. While there disposition of family papers was determined. Maria searched the house for papers of historical value, and she and her mother sorted. A few articles, including pictures, were to be given to Ida Smith Church. The remainder were given to Maria. Of the experience, Maria wrote home: "During the past two days and nights I have pretty well searched out all written materials I want to take home with me. Only a few items are really valuable. The first afternoon I found the notebook with Grandma's journal. All of the family are pleased.... Today I found some letters from Grandma that pleased me.... It has been good for me to be around my family like this. I have so much more admiration for each one.... I have also been renewed in http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv05371 2
