From an interview of Robert Lyle Wall her nephew.
My maiden aunt used to come with grandma to stay with whoever she was staying with. She had some sort of emotional problem (epilepsy according to the Ida Louise Stanley biography) but she would have periods of time where she would just be very very quiet, but all the kids loved her they would always bring a book to her to read them a story. We kids all liked her so well, because she would give us the attention we wanted almost any time we wanted it. They didn’t know how to treat whatever she suffered from, that’s one of the reasons she never married. She just would go into quiet spells and just ignore everyone or everything. We never knew when it was going to hit, it may have been some sort of seizure.
