  [S686] Family Information from Rhonda Konicki, [Winkler pp. 73, 74]. Polly's adoption was prompted after the loss of two girls, Mamie and then Mary. Both girls died within a short period of time (like a year or so) and the parents were so grieved they immediately adopted Polly who had recently been orphaned.
