Transcript of a letter from Kathryn to her aunt Eva May Wilcox, February 13, 1946:
Dear Aunt Eva,
I am writing to you to thank you for the check you sent me. Thanks very much. Jimmy has a tricycle and a wagon for his birthday. They are wonderful just like pre-war stuff. The wagon just fits me. There has been a lot of good skating these days. It is just the right weather too. One day Daddy and Shelley and Moma and Jimmy and I and Uncle Ross went skating at the Berlin Dam. We were in a little cove and it was real nice and smooth. About all the rest of it was rough in places but ours was smooth. Guess what? I am going to dances! It is a very nice place up at the Y.W.C.A. and they have dances every Tuesday night. The last time I was there was only the third time and just think, I danced with a boy about every dance! He was real nice and had red hair and I think he liked me. I have a new boyfriend and his name is Arthur Eggleston. He looks very strong and has blond hair with a wave. He looks so cute! He is in my room but he likes Margaret Wild who sits just in front of me. I threaten her every time she looks at him, but she always looks. She doesn't seem to mind when I choke her. I don't think she is pretty. Jimmy is well and having a good time tonight. He helped me braid a little bracelet tonight. Mother said she is not going to let me go to a dance next Friday because I don't keep myself clean. Just because I didn't get my neck and hands clean she won't let me go to the dance. Tonight I went to Blue Triangle Club in school and I didn't come home until 5:00 o'clock and mother said she thought I had walked across the lake and fallen in. I know a girl named Joan Wills who has an airplane in her garage. She showed it to me and some other girls and I thought it was very pretty. It was painted blue and yellow and it looked wonderful. We asked her if she had ever ridden in it before and she said yes. She said it was just like riding in a car. I guess you would prefer your little green car to an airplane, Eh, Aunt Eva?
As always, your niece Kathryn
P.S. Jimmy wrote this typewritten letter to you. (Enc.)
The following story was written by Kathryn and published in the Sullins College Academy Issue of the Sullins Reflector at Bristol, VA, April 28, 1950 (p 6.)
" ' Get up quick, Kathy!' Jerry yelled. 'The Indians are on the warpath!'
You can imagine my astonishment at these words, especially as this was twentieth century America.
A few days before this, I had arrived at Chippewa Lake Park, Chippewa, Ohio to spend several weeks with my girlfriend Kitty, and her brother, Jerry. Immediately after my arrival they began telling me fantastic stories about the Chippewa Indians, for whom the lake is named. They said that the ghosts of the Indians lived across the lake; and now and then came out at night, built fires, beat their tom-toms, and killed the park's residents. Knowing how Kitty and Jerry loved to joke, I laughed at the whole thing. But I started to think about it the next night when I saw fires burning across the lake; however, I still didn't believe it.
To come back to my story- - Half awake, I tumbled out of bed and followed by Jerry and Kitty, staggered out to the pier where the boats were docked. About twenty-five people were there, composed mostly of the kids who worked in the park. That was unusual, because it was about 4:30 a.m., an hour when there is usually nobody about. I looked across the lake, and on the pther side I could see several fires with figures grouped around them. Right then I began to get scared.
Jerry, Kitty, and the rest got out the big launch and climbed in, pulling me after them. We started the motor, and the boat moved slowly out across the lake. We landed and crept silently up to the clearing where the fires were burning. There our eyes came upon the frightening sight of - - the Chippewa Indian Boy Scout Troop of Chippewa, Ohio, having a party.
I had received the standard treatment for a new arrival, being told the stories of the Indians only to find out that it was a Boy Scout Troop camped across the lake.
Having spent the rest of the night in singing songs and cooking hot dogs that someone had thoughtfully provided, we came back to our side of the lake after one of the most exciting nights I have ever had."
From The Canton Christian, (1st Christian Church), Friday, January 28, 1955:
"January 22: Mr. Virgil W. Foster of Medina and Miss Kathryn G. Lindsley of Alliance were married by Mr. Welsheimer in the church parlors. They will live in Medina."
