Anecdote:
Although I do not recall every meeting “Cousin Lillian” she was part of a humorous story involving my great aunt, Kathleen Featherston Wright. When I was visiting Emory in the spring of 1966, as mentioned under Katie May Peddy’s entry, I spent the night with “Aunie.” That Sunday, before catching the train back to Washington, we went out to a house near Grant Park where her nephew, and honorary son, Wright, was living. Aunie was then 83, and got to talking about her progressive infirmities, but then got to talking about “Cousin Lillian” who was then 98. After thinking about Lillian, Aunie commented that it made her feel like a “spring chicken.” At 18, I thought the concept of an 83 year old woman as a spring chicken was hilarious. Now, I understand.
