General Notes:
"Sweetest and ugliest person" old maid, never was asked for a date. She looked after her mother and father partially to shield from unhappiness of social life. (ABC)
Inherited Edward Cooper Chitty's house in Gainesville on Aradonda.
Arthur Jr knew her as Aunt Belle, "brought light and excitement into her life" and he stayed there once a week or so in the midst of a daylong sales trip.
Betty and Mary Ann would stay with her when they went to Univ. of FL for dance weekends, and she would vet all the beauz who xcame to the house. “If you don’t bring Betty home on time or do anything you shouldn’t do, I’m going to shoot you in the ass with buckshot.”
She loved to cuss (GT). She helped raise Charles R. Carter, was a nephew. At night when she went to bed she would push her dresser in front of her door so nobody could get in.
