Leg brace

She contracted polio just after learning to walk. The disease left her unable to walk without the aid of a crutch or brace. Betty used this brace and shoe later in her life. The shoes were specially made from casts taken of Betty's feet. The donor believes her mother got the shoes from Hanger Orthopedic Group in Topeka, Kansas.

Caton, Mayor of Winfield, Woman's Christian Temperance Union representatives from several states, and several members of Congress.
