Invalid 12 Years
She had been an invalid for 12 years, but during the long hours alone while her husband and daughter were at work she acted as office assistant and took business calls for her husband over the telephone, which was at her bedside. She also turned out exquisite embroidery and fine crocheted articles as gifts for her family and friends, besides making many other contributions to the family activities.
