Post-Colony History: In 1935 Mrs. Busick, on her day off, caught a ride and visited Jennings, Louisiana, where she'd never been. She inquired her way to the home of Fred West (from whom the Rice Ranch had been purchased). He wasn't at home, but she had a very pleasant visit with his mother, Mrs. Beals, who had also lived in the colony nine or ten years prior.
