Nathaniel died leaving Mary Louise a widow with a six-month-old baby, Mary Louise also had both of her retinas detach shortly after Nathaniel died and that left her blind. Because Nathaniel was a Mason, the Masons got together and helped Mary Louise fight the State of Florida to keep custody of her baby girl Patricia. Mary Louise did not think that her blindness would prevent her from raising her daughter. Mary Louise won the fight!
