I wonder just who threw the cake away. In the book The meaning Of Our Tears on page 282 in Stella Lawson Boles words After the Lawson cabin was closed, Marion Lawson took the guns and Marie's cake still in it's glass cake stand and kept them all in his own house. She said Dad took the cake home with him and kept it for a while, but he had so many people to keep coming by the house to visit, just to look at the cake.that he finally took it out and buried it somewhere. I don't know where though, I just saw him take off with the cake and the shovel one day.

I wonder too Bobby. We have a relative telling us in an interview that he threw the cake out after Arthur died. His sister confirmed it by saying she saw him throw it away. At least we have our people saying in on camera. This is an important thing here. Thanks again Bobby Wayne for helping us out on this issue concerning that darn raisin cake.

Makes me wonder just how many cakes were made. They sold slices of the cakes they made from Marie's recipe at the showings along with drinks and nab's.

Seems to me like the cake would have gone to Arthur instead of Marion. And like you said Maria, ya'll had the people on tape stating what happened to the cake. Trudy can only say what she supposedly heard - and those people are passed on now, there's no way to verify what they said.

Keeping a cake until 1945, pretty riped for my taste!

It was kept underneath a glass dome and the man who told us he threw it out said it had turned green.

Sounds like a few things in my fridge!! Wonder how many people touring over the years wondered how Marie got the cake to be green, lol.
As strange as this sounds, can you imagine the impact that cake had on Arthur? It's so...personal, I guess, and knowing that his sister was happily baking that cake only a few hours earlier...it must have been hard for him to even think about it.

I've heard that when people toured the cabin they would get very quite and still when they entered the kitchen and saw the raisin cake. They just stood and stared at it quietly and it seemed to have had more of an impact on them than anything else in the house. So I'm sure Arthur would have been tremendously grieved over the cake his sister made the day she was murdered. That's why I'm more convinced that the cake had been stored in the attic of Arthur's wife Nina's father's house than in Marion's. The attic of his father-in-law's house is where Herman Bibey told us he found the cake and threw it out, (not buried it) after Arthur died.

I think that makes more sense too. Just think about it - some of that cake was actually meant for Arthur to eat. It would be really hard to look at something your sibling made for you right before they were brutally murdered.

I agree it would have been very hard to look at let alone throw it away. I know I would not have been able to had it been me.

Stella was said to have been offered the cake by Marion but that she said...oh no, I never want to see it again. Or something like that. Who knows whether she was really offered it or not. Looks like Marion would have asked Arthur if he wanted it first.

Yeah I saw that story in the book. It doesn't actually say that Stella told the author that story. The author just says it as if it was said by Stella so I wonder if she said it too. And I agree. Marion should have asked Arthur first and maybe he did but if he did I can't see Arthur saying he didn't want it either. The book doesn't say anything about whether it was offered to Arthur first or not.

Thanks Angel. I wondered if it mentioned him regarding the cake.
