Millboro, Mass. September 7, 1962
Sept. 5 ‘62
Hello Carrie,
We are up here for a short while. Hope you get a chance to come see us.
Love,
The Lincolns
Miss Carrie L. Dudley
693 Hill St.
Whitinsville, Mass
I hope they got the chance to come see the Lincolns too!
Whitinsville, Massachusetts is an unincorporated village on the Mumford River, primarily known as a mill town throughout it's history. The house where Miss Dudley lived cannot be seen on GoogleStreetView, but the address is on a winding Hill Street just outside the Historic District. The SSDI lists a Carrie Dudley passing in 1980, but the Worcester County Land Deeds Registry shows two land transfer records from 1977 and 1978 for two properties with different addresses, one on Hill St. It also shows she was unmarried at the time of transfer, which likely means she had no children.
As far as the ubiquitous (in south Florida) Cocoanut Palm, it may not be a native plant. Since its seeds can float and disperse for long periods, it's very likely to have naturally migrated to Florida where it can be seen as far north at Stuart on the east coast and Punta Gorda on the west. There's a Monty Python joke in here somewhere...
