Jem, I used to do errands for old mrs Vernon, so I suppose that would be Maggie, she was the only one living in the house at that time, that would be in the late 40s, and I went to Mrs Hursts shop for her quite a lot as well as the butchers on the bar, I remember when she died, they had her laid out in the front room,(the one on the left)and I was persuaded to go in and see her for the last time, Mrs Rigby from next door took me in, and that memory is still with me, after all I was only 10 or 11, that was my first sight of a dead person,
