Frances was the sweetest lady I know. She loved to make rag rugs on a loom and play her piano. Every day Frances would get in her car and drive all over town,(Hubbell,NE 6 blocks long and 4 blocks wide), then she would go to the post office. She loved to ride out in the country and tell you about people who used to live out there 50-60 years ago. She talked about her father driving her in a wagon to Williams, NE so she could teach school. Frances loved little kids and would let them sit in her lap so they could "play" the piano. Frances used to call every Monday morning to check to see if you had any news for the paper. Frances we miss seeing you driving around town in your brown chevy with the dent in the fender to check on us.
