The Delicate Flower.

The Plancovania Historical Society would like to apologize for the profound lack of Rose Lake Park updates in recent weeks, seems our historian Mabel Mabel has come down with some sort of flu virus and has been bedridden since the early part of February.   She indicated that she should probably have checked herself into the hospital by now, but laments the lack of health insurance provided to our volunteer employees renders this effort to be cost prohibitive for her. 

We thought about reminding her that her Medicare would probably absorb the majority of any costs, but then we thought otherwise, as it occurred to us that we can bring several boxes from the archives to her house, and set up her scanner next to the bed where she spends her days drifting in and out of consciousness.

Here are her most recent set of scans.

Above is a rare photo the Mae girls, Sr. and Jr., stepping out of the church following weekly services.  It was said that Pastor Paul held a special additional service for the girls, as each of them would take up an entire pew to themselves.

Also noteworthy, in later years the small cemetary to the left of the chapel had to be greatly expanded to accomodate the space needed to bury Edna Mae Sr., whose health began to deteriorate shortly after this photo was taken.   Edna Mae Jr. went on to continue her mother's legacy, not just at the hotel but eventually um, expanding the business into an entire empire encompassing all corners of Rose Lake.
