Abstract

William Schafner, Annabelle Schafner, and Margaret Folgeman only appear at the beginning of this video, during this time they discuss baseball, life at the mill, and their lives during the depression.

The last 18 minutes of the video are silent and feature exterior shots of the town and its environs.
