|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
c.
1905 |
St.
Louis,
Mo.:
Nina's
arthritis
had
restricted
the
use
of
her
arms and legs. She gave up the
summer home, and resigned herself to life in their home at 5884 Cates
Ave., St. Louis. Her condition worsened, until she had to be
carried from bedroom to living room, where she remained in her chair
all day ... keeping up her voluminous correspondence, playing
backgammon, and receiving friends. Her hands were so gnarled that
her pen had to be inserted into her fist, so that she could
write. Her internment in prison was believed to have created this
arthritic condition, which was to immobilize her and cause her so much
pain in later years. |

Note |
In
light
of
the
fact
that
Nina's
father,
Benjamin
Franklin
Massey,
had suffered crippling arthritis or
rheumatic attacks all his life; it is possible that Nina's condition
was hereditary. |

He states that Julian Massey became, in 1871, an inmate of the Fulton
Insane Asylum, and that R.D. Massey has always paid for his support in
that institution, which is requesting current expense payments of
$150.00 per year, plus $25.00 for clothes. |
