More News
Another interesting day...Kitty had found a link to the Duluth Public library where they had clippings of news stories about our Great Aunt Kittie Ann Hagstrom nee Seymour. It was only a matter of a few hours and Kitty had the clippings as PDF files. And then she shared them with me. I am now sharing the files with my children and grandchildren.
The story of Aunt Kitty's career is a great one and we should all be proud to be related to her. She was one of the founder's of Saint Louis County Federal Saving and Loan association back in 1922, when it had assets of only $8,000. In 1956, they had assets totaling over $20 million and she had a hand in every part of the business. She was the only woman on the board of 15 directors for the association. When she retired in 1972, she had spent 50 years with the company and she was elected to the office of Director Emeritus upon her retirement.
To us, the kids that knew her as Aunt Kittie, she was just one of the highlights of summer, a funny lady that could make you laugh and best of all...she made our Nana happy.
