[She] had been the church organist throughout her adult life and\nhad a deep appreciation for classical music. I imagine that is why she was\nattracted to the violin print &#8230; and also Dan\u2019s particular artistic style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Louise was a longtime resident of New\nWoodstock. She was the organist at the New Woodstock Methodist Community Church\nfor 60 years, as well as a member of the New Woodstock Fire Department\nAuxiliary and CASA. Her sisters Marion Hull and Thelma McManus have volunteered\nat the library for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are honored to receive this gift and have\nit on view at the library for all to see.
