Edith F. Bornhoeft Dies

Edith Fister (1910-1985), a sister of my grandmother Margaret (Fister) Hartley.  Image courtesy of Tom Cairns.

I didn't know Aunt Edith as well as I knew Aunt Fern, but I do have a memory of her as a health nut.  A search in Chicago newspapers in the late 1950s/early 1960s shows she was a regular participant with various week-end hikes associated with the volunteer organization Prairie Club of Chicago.
