This one was especially close to my heart as my own 2nd great-grandmother, Bertha, emigrated from this part of the world. Though she arrived in the United States in 1892 (to marry my 2nd great-grandfather, Friedrich, who had proposed in a letter!) the rest of her family remained in Prussia.
Lulu Fellows, an early narrator and a Halloween Tradition
Lulu Fellows was an elocutionist--a performer who gave dramatic readings, not unlike those audiobook narrators do today. When she died at the age of sixteen in 1883, she was buried in Rosehill Cemetery, near my home. The glass encased sculpture that marks her grave always reminds me of an audiobooth.
On Halloween, the secretive Society of Lulu Fellows parades 'Lulu' through our neighborhood in much anticipated annual event.
