Notes:

Mrs. Rudolph Ziehm was Anne Swanson. She was born Jan 18, 1900 in Jeannette, Pa., and died in September of 1992 in Seguin TX. She had moved to Texas in 1988 to live with her daughter. She was a CPA, and was still keeping books right up until she moved away. When she sold the house at 25 Allen Street, in 1988, there was a space heater in the basement which had a gas fitting that needed to be capped. When the repairman arrived, he said, "If you can prove that you're 65, I'll give you a discount." Mrs. Ziehm laughed and said, "I was born in 1900! My age is always whatever year it is!" He told her, "If you can prove that you're really 88, I'll do it for free." She pulled out her driver's license and he did it for free.
