| Notes |
- Her parents had been married for a very short time, when her mother caught consumption and died, leaving a small baby. Her father, Frank, had no idea what to do with a baby, so he brought her to his unmarried sister, Minnie and his parents. Letty's grandfather died when she was still a child, and she grew up in Glenfield, on an isolated farm with only her grandmother and maiden aunt, and was very lonely. She graduated from Lyons Falls High School in 1908.
Letty went to Potsdam to the Crane School of Music, and then got a job teaching at the Lansing St. School in Watertown, NY. It was there that she met Fred Kirch, who was a good friend and brother-in-law to her father. Fred was still married , but was in the process of getting divorced. Fred was fifteen years older than Letty, who was past thirty. They went to New Jersey to get married Sept. 27, 1921.
