Our Packard and whent it was used for a funeral

My parents brought a Packard with Jump seats when a friend of my mothers was having marital troubles. Her husband wanted a divorce so he could marry his secretary so he would not give her any money to live on. My father bought her car. Now at this time of 1933 we had a famous Kansan that died. He was vice president of the US when Hoover was president. He had been born in Council Grove, Kansas. His mother was an Indian. When she died he went to Topeka to live with his father's parents. Growing up he had several jobs. He worked for a newspaper in North Topeka and was elected senator eventually. When Hoover was elected President he looked for a vice president and Curtis was selected he was the first high official elected west of the Mississippi River. He use to say the only way he saw the president was to take one of the tours through the White house. He started the lighting of the first Christmas tree in the White House. When he died while in office in 1933 his body was brought back to lie in state at the State House. The funeral home called to borrow our car for the pallbears. Later we went to the theater to see our car in the newsreel. Curtis was buried in the Topeka Cemetery where my mother's twin sister was buried.
