Edith Wisthuff, went to University of Illinois in the fall of 1919. Louis encouraged her father to send her to school. She studied Home Economics, as did many women of her time. Home Economics is science!
In her senior year, 1923, Louis asked her to marry him. She said yes, and they lived on the farm her family had farmed for two generations previous.
The picture under that one is my son, sitting in the same spot as his grandmother Edith! that is one of my favorite things to do...to take a new photo in the same spot as an old photo!
(It is not called McKinley Hall anymore.)
