'This is my great-aunt. My mother adored her. Mom called her 'Gramma Chandler.' She was born at 260 Autumn Ave., Duxbury, MA. This was her wedding dress at age 16. She was beautiful. She told my mother (who told me), that the day Abe Lincoln died, everybody was out in the street talking over the terrible news and everyone had a cold supper that night.
