Folks; Getting ready to head out to the woods for a walk (to the tower?), on a wonderful, nearly perfect fall day here in Missouri ....but first ... I'm doing a little fact checking for an essay, just to be sure; due to some conflicting reports: My understanding is that all 3 of the girls were indeed born in the Quarry Farm house. there are indications in the Autobiography that Susy was born down the hill in the Langdon house (MT's confused recall?) but Ida Langdon states that they were all born up the hill. Also: all 3 were laid out in coffins in the Langdon house down the hill, as was MT. None were laid out in Quarry Farm. Do I have all that correct? thanks -- --hb -- Harold K.
