April 11, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Friday 1980,   We have Wendi.  I ran to Big Stone early to get car title and then to Penn. to Benton Kelly's funeral and traded cars.   We took it up for Jennings to see late.  Walter was in late.   Our car Chrysler Le Baron Key no. ES-0534  EP-2571. 

Footnote:  Wendi is her granddaughter.  Big Stone is a town about 9 miles away northeast and Pennington is a town about 8 miles West.  Opposite directions.  Benton Kelly was a neighbor of hers.  I love how she went to the funeral and traded cars all in the same sentence.    Jennings is her brother who lives nearby.  Walter is a neighbor.   She must have been proud of that new car.    I wonder if that is the car the snake got in and lived for a few days.  She drove that car knowing the snake was in there.  She saw him sunning himself in the back window.
