8D Sunday, October 20, 2002 www.thestarpress.com OCT. 23 will mark the birthday of a beloved lady who became dear to the hearts of many, Emily Kimbrough, who was born in 1898 in a small house at 715 E. Washington St. in Muncie. This photo, taken in 1898, shows Emily and her mother, Charlotte (Lottie) Wiles Kimbrough, in the parlor of that home.

Emily lived in Muncie until 1909, when her family moved to Chicago, where she would become editor of Fashions of the Hour, a Marshall Field and Co. publication. Later, she became fashion editor and eventually managing editor of Ladies Home Journal. Emily authored 16 books during her long career, and one, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, co-authored by Cornelia Otis Skinner, was made into a movie in 1944. Another, How Dear to My Heart, is about her childhood in Muncie.

Emily died in 1989, but through her writings, she will always be a part of Muncie of which she once said: roots, I think that's the most important thing for everybody. I I I I I I I I never, never want to grow away from my roots." Anyone with questions or comments for the Album of Yesteryear can contact Mike Mavis at or at 288-3307.

The body of Ann Harmeier, an Indiana University student from Cambridge City who had been missing since Sept. 12, was found by a farmer in a cornfield near Martinsville.

She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. The discovery was a terrible blow to her family and also to the hundreds of townsfolk who had rallied to find the missing coed, whose car had broken down along Ind. 37 as she returned to the university. The residents had put up billboards and printed posters and bumper stickers asking, "Where is Ann?" Police found the young woman's purse, bank book and clothing in the cornfield. Other notable deaths also clouded the week.

Crooner Bing Crosby died at age 73 after being stricken with a heart attack on a Spanish golf course.

Sure, biting the heads off frogs had been an effective motivator for his teams, he said, but it tended to gross out the more squeamish folks and spurred negative publicity. So, no more frog heads for him. If you still had an appetite left after reading about Canaday's frog exploits, the Big Wheel restaurant would sell you a perch dinner for just $2.98, including fries and slaw.

For another $1.10 you could have all the perch you could eat, and your run of the salad bar, besides. Ind. 9 in Alexandria. In Hartford City, Roger Drollinger was sentenced to four life sentences for the Valentine's Day shotgun slayings of four young brothers in Hollandsburg. Drollinger, 24, had no reaction as his sentence was read.
