Gwendolyn Mary WHITE is the sole survivor in her family-- her brothers, sisters, and parents all have passed on. Her father called her "Dolly" because he said she looked like a doll when she was a baby. She inherited her Grandmother PODELL's West Prussian work ethic and keeps busy gardening, housekeeping, refinishing furniture, and managing the farm. Like her grandmother, Gwen enjoys picking berries, canning vegetables and giving them away. --Thomas Dale Allen, her son, 1997.
