Hancock Historical Museum
A new historical exhibit will help you GO back and experience what life was like in northwest Ohio in the Roaring ’20s.
“My dear Marie, Your lovely box of candy arrived today and every piece I have tasted, I have found excellent, both stuffing and outside,” reads a portion of just one of Earl Kennedy’s letters.
From 1920 to 1924, Findlay man Earl Kennedy wrote dozens of letters to his then-girlfriend Marie McCarthy, who lived in Cleveland.
Kennedy owned the still-open Kennedy Printing Company in Findlay, and served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War I.
His letters were recently discovered when a friend of the family was cleaning her attic during COVID-19 lockdown.
They are now on display at the Hancock Historical Museum in a new exhibit called Love Letters.
