Couldn't Be Lonely with 10Cats and 23 Chickens, She Says
From the Scranton Times (no date given)
Rhoda Ann Thrope Lewis, better known to Scrantonians as Rosey-Posey, has succumbed to the pranks of the weatherman and despite her 82 years is going to bob her hair.
"It's just too hot. Besides, everybody is doing it," said Mrs. Lewis with a shrug of her shoulders. She is youthful in many of her views and thinks her age should be no detriment to her comfort.
For fifty-one years, Rosey-Posey has made her home in a shack along the Laurel Line tracks. It is difficult to reach and getting to it necessitates a walk of almost two miles through the woods, by rather indistinct paths, and over culm piles. It is a small dwelling, one floor, one room and two fairly well sized closets. Unless the location of the house is known, it is almost impossible to find it. Completely circled by trees and high shrubs, it cannot be seen ten feet away.
