H.A.Larkin letter:
"...When Amy was 18 years old, Dora decided to call it quits on being a housewife 
and mother and left home in June to find a job. Amy had been in Mpls. 6 months and 
decided to go home in July when Clara and Lyman asked her and Margretta to take 
Percy home with them to Ortonville. Amy wanted to go home and see her younger 
brother and sister. Percy was a small baby still on the bottle. She carried him several 
blocks as he couldn't walk. There were 9 of the family at home to cook, wash, and 
clean for without Percy. She made it somehow for a short time until her dad tried to tell 
her she had to have his permission to go out. So Amy just packed up and left while 
her dad was out. Lyman picked up Percy later. Agness was 12 and could cook a little 
but their grandmother done the washing and baking at her home until the kids were 
put in an orphanage. Dora was working some place but thought she would be home 
soon. She didn't write to the family at that time (a couple months), but she never wrote 
much any time she walked away from home. The kids never heard from her until Nov. 
1915, asking for money to visit her parents in Ortonville after 5 years in the West. Amy 
sent the money and Amy didn't hear from her mother for another 5 years. Dora just 
wanted to stay away from her family and enjoy life in her own way. After the kids got 
married she wrote to them off and on until she died. Amy took care of Dora in 1942 for 
a couple of months and buried her in Calif. Dora told her second husband she only 
had 10 children as she was conscious of having 13."
1930 in Santa Clara, Santa Clara Co., Cal.
