- From a letter in the Accession file: "Mary was Christian to the core, and her face shone with inner illumination. She was pretty, sweet saintly. Was S.S. Supt for years in the local M.E. Church, and when she sold her woodlot for $10,000, she presented the church with new windows of stained glass, as a memorial to the Straws." Gertrude E. Hall to Charlotte Conover, Portland, Maine, July 1, 1950.
