Notable #9 - A Quote from Vevay Author E.S.L. Thompson for Valentines Day.
... and was she heir to a $3,000,000 fortune?
Wikipedia - E.S.L. Thompson, Vevay author
E.S.L (Elizabeth Shepherd Lamb) Thompson was born in Vevay on August 7, 1848. Her dad was a Judge in Indianapolis and not much is said about her mother, Marietta, other than being the daughter of Julia Louisa Dumont. Elizabeth married William A. Thompson, also a judge, in 1886 and they lived in Muncie until his death in 1925. She then carried on her remaining years with her son near Brazil, Indiana until her death 1944. She was buried in Muncie.
Mrs. Thompson was an eclectic author who wrote short stories, poems and songs, contributed to magazines, and was part of a lecture circuit for a time.
Wikipedia - The Raising of the Sons of Wooley
I wanted to post a clue related to Valentines Day ... you know, for all those romantics out there. So the search began from Switzerland County's list of authors and quickly the short story of Unoffically came up. Unoffically was part of the larger collection of stories entitled The Raising of the Sons of Wooley.
The story starts out with a father touting all the reasons why his daughter should marry this guy named Arthur Tristam, a man of great respect and looks. His daughter, Bertha (sorry, I snickered a little), is having none of it and says, "He has your ear, but he never will have my heart!". See Bertha was in love with the returning solder named Adrien Vernon, who was scarred and walking with crutches.
Dad protested so much and threatened to not allow Mr. Vernon into their home. One escalation leads to another and she finds herself ... you really should read the story. :)
Clue #9 of Dufour's Keys
The clue was taken from a quote from the story, "A Union of choice, of compatibility, a union of soul-the only union there ought ever to be, a union of love!" I kind of punted a little bit with the location of the key. It simply was placed on a Union Street sign.
