From papers found at Westbury Historical Society Library, Westbury, NY: Ruth Hegeman says "I was with her when firemen came with books of chance. She did not approve of putting her name down so gave money for several books, said he could put his name if he wished. I asked (foolishly) 'How do you know he will give it in?' She said, 'I did my part now it is up to him.' Outside my family, I believe she may have influenced me the most. She died at 48, I believe."
