She set out on her own with the six children in the cold of December in the middle of the depression. The children ranged in age from not quite 15 down to six years of age. Mabel was assisted by Sadie (Kelly) Edwards, her brother's wife and her husband's sister. (In the Kelly and Edwards families, a brother and sister married a sister and brother.) One of the six children is still living - Fall 2013!
