User-Contributed Transcription Mrs. May Walden 420 West Bell Street, Box 853 Avon Park, Fla. Last Sunday most of this same crowd of friends had a picnic - I was included - on another abandoned farm in the direction of Wauchula. We saw several other abandoned farms, or groves in that section too. A big rain came up and we rushed to the home of some of the party, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, who are struggling to make a living keeping bees. They have tried cattle, chickens, trucking, by turns and now have bees. Mrs. Davis used to be a crack stenographer in N.Y.C. later in the crate mills here. Has lost a thumb by infection, and is now too old to get another position. And she is worn out by hard work on the farm. It is quite pathetic. She is a fine, earnest, honest woman, a Catholic, and I like her very much. Guess I've mentioned her before. Her husband is also hard-working, been a soldier in the Phillipines
