This surprised me. I used to live in Salisbury and I remember walking past
her house with my mother who would tell me about her. She had always
called her Suzanne Blackmer so I never connected it with this name until
you mentioned Sidney Blackmer and Salisbury. I remember always wondering
if anyone actually lived in the house because it was always so overgrown
but no one I asked about it knew anything at the time - I wonder if this
was because she was in the Actor's Home. Do you know how long she was
there? This was between 15 and 20 years ago.

If she's to be buried in Salisbury, I can at least say I know she'll have
good company. The best people I knew in my mother's family are buried
there.
