From John Hunter Of Hunter Arms Hunter Fan Fulton Ny Biography
"Across the street from the store [and down the road which leads directly to Sterling Center] there was a woman named Fanny Parish and she was very deaf. She used a sort of horn to help herself understand people. She would always carry it with her. It was black and had a ribbon on it and was quite a decorative part of her getup when she would go out.
"She was a milliner and made very fabulous hats. She was always working on a hat every time we'd go there. We children would go there often and she would stop her work and play games with us. She always had some new game we wanted to play. Her deafness didn't seem to bother us when we were playing the games. We loved to go to the Fanny Parish house and we were welcome.
