Pauline and Esther

In this photo Esther is on the right side. Next to her is her sister Pauline. Esther has always lived at home and taken care of ill members of the family. She and her brother supported the family when their father died in 1927. When her brother Wally became ill, she took care of him until he died in 1987. She is now caring for her sister Pauline. Esther doesn't like to make decisions, but people are urging her to move out of her home, which is a big house, to a smaller apartment. The details for this story were gathered through a series of oral interviews with Esther Hunn.
