New York Mills woman still lives with the effects of polio

Polio once ravaged the world. One local survivor still has a visible reminder of the disease. 7:40 am, Apr. 8, 2021 Anna Mae Vetter, 83, of New York Mills, has vivid memories of a ride she took in a cab from Chicago to Evanston, Ill., in 1943. At 6 years old, little Anna Mae was increasingly having trouble walking. Trekking the long distance to school was eventually aided by her uncle carrying her. It was at first just brushed off as nothing serious. But not long after, she recalls sitting on her mother’s lap in that cab. In her mother’s embrace she remembers the cab driver picking on her about being such a big girl to still be sitting on her mother’s lap.
