Klara Karpati's maternal grandmother, Borbala Neu

This is my mother's mother, Borbala Neu (maiden name - Kraut), in a photo taken in Budapest sometime during the second decade of the 20th century . I knew my grandmother, as she was living with us when I was a little girl. She died in our house in 1922 at the age of around 90. According to my mother, she never, ever took any kind of medicine. It was a waste of time calling the doctor to come see her, as she poured out the medicines he prescribed and threw away all the tablets.
