Clara was 97 years old when I met her almost 30 years ago. She lived alone in a large house on the shore of Mahone Bay. The first floor of her home consisted of a large room, which had once been the village dry goods store, a large kitchen and dining room, a living room and a bathroom. The second floor consisted of five bedrooms, two of which had their own baths and walk-in closets. The third floor consisted of a large room suitable for dancing, and the attic held the maid's quarters and the stairway that led to the widow's walk.
