lies:
Eleanor Louise Kresge, age 15
She was born on January 19, 1905. She earned a degree in primary education, married a Methodist minister, and had two children, both boys. Her older son had three children of his own, a girl and two boys, the youngest of whom grew up to spend too much time on Tumblr.
There was a Kresge Hall at Carnegie Mellon! Any chance of a Pittsburgh connection?
Yeah, that’s the same Kresge family. Sebastian Kresge, who founded the Kresge Corporation (think Kmart), donated a lot of money to various causes, and I think that theater at CMU probably was named for him.
Sebastian was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and my grandmother was a semi-distant relative. She and my grandfather are buried not far from there in Mossville Cemetery.
They were married for 68 years.
