LAMMERS, ANTOINETTE BELITZ 
   Letter Tells of Mrs. Lammers Death in Ohio
   Many local people were shocked at the news of the death of Mrs. Antoinette 
   Belitz Lammers in February, as reported in a recent issue of the Record.  
   Details of her demise were lacking at the time. Since then, Mayor Hilton 
   Baumann received a letter from her son, Alfred in Ohio, telling some details.
   Mayor Baumann has given the letter to the Record and here are some excerpts:
   Her son reported that Mrs. Lammers arrived in Cincinnati before Thanksgiving 
   and that she appeared run down and tired upon arrival. She had a great time 
   telling of her experiences at the Centennial and recounted the wonderful 
   hospitality and time she had here greeting old friends and joining in the 
   festivities. "She truly enjoyed this trip and we are glad she could be with 
   you for the 100th anniversary celebration," wrote Alfred.
   "However, she developed pneumonia and other complications, which although 
   cured, affected her heart...After Christmas she went down rapidly and had a 
   heart seizure January 2, but pulled through and seemed to be getting better.
   A second heart attack Feb. 4 carried her away. Mother was 84 - had enjoyed good 
   health and an active life up to within 30 days of her death. I could not ask for 
   more." - March 10, 1955

   "The Millionaire"
   While driving home from work one day, My total wealth I did survey. 
   My Mortgaged home and ancient car. A bank account not up to par. 
   Funiture from which I fear, we may not get another year. 
   The TV set with stamp-size screen, carpets with the well-worn sheen. 
   Two suits of chothes not quite threadbare. "All-purpose" shoes that need repair. 
   Sadly then I saw my plight. After 20 years of toil and flight. 
   My Treasure Chest was some-what small, with house and car and clothes and all. 
   On I drove trance-like I fear, when suddenly my house was near.  
   "Your daddy's home" I heard her cry. As eight pairs of feet went rushing by. 
   And smothered in arms and curly hair. I knew that I was a Millionaire!
