Scope and content
Mrs. Susan Richardson poses in her wheelchair at the Old Soldiers Home at Retsil prior to her 100th birthday. She is being visited by some women, including Mrs. C.A. Potter, president of the Daughters of the Pioneers of Pierce County, and her granddaughter Donna May Hanson, 18. Mrs. Richardson was born in Shelby County, Ohio, July 22, 1840 and crossed the country on the Oregon Trail with her grandmother in 1843. She is an avid reader of news of the European War and advised Tacoma Times readers to "Keep Hitler out of America." (T. Times 7/22/1940, pg 1)
