Dotty served as the treasure of the historical society for many years and along with her husband, Clayton, was a active member in many town organizations donating countless hours, baked goods and her cheerful presence. She was instrumental in my First Person Rural project  in Porter and these are two images from that series. I cannot picture Dotty with idle hands. She was always baking, knitting, crocheting or quilting.  She made the quilt for the society to raffle off as a fundraiser for many, many years.  I will always be thankful for her wonderful friendship and I know I speak for all who knew her...you will be greatly missed Dotty. Rest now in peace, your work is done.

 

Still time to get your raffle tickets!

There is still time to purchase your quilt raffle tickets.  The drawing will be Saturday October 22, 2016 at the History House.  You can pick up your tickets at the Apple Festival in Cornish on Sunday 25 September 2016 or at our last open house of the season.
