Facts about
In The Farmer's Daughter, Katrin Holstrom (Loretta Young) reads the story of the townsfolk who place their beloved doctor's office shingle as a monument on his tomb: "Dr. Sorensen: Upstairs". Essentially the same scene occurs in Dreaming Out Loud where Lum and Abner place the "Dr. Walter Barnes: Office Upstairs" shingle on the good doctor's tomb.
On a cold day, Katrin prepares a drink called glogg for Glenn. Glogg is usually made from claret, aquavit, sugar, cloves, cardamom, orange peel, and raisins. It is ignited before being served.
