Keller and Sullivan Macy's Later Years, 1917–1968

Although Annie Sullivan Macy would live another nineteen years after our discussion ends in 1917 (with Sanborn’s death and Sullivan Macy and Keller’s move to Queens, New York, that year), about half of the remainder of her life was plagued by serious illness including declining eyesight and, finally, blindness. Helen Keller, however, would be in the national and international limelight for more than fifty years, suffering a stroke in 1961, and passing on in 1968.
