In April, I960 Miss Margaret McCandless resigned as superintendent
of the Home. As we had no replacement she was asked to
continue on a quarterly basis. She served until August when she
became a member of the Home family. Mrs. W. Brown Sterrett
served as superintendent until December 1, when Miss Myrtle Wylie
took over the duties for one month. Both women are members of
the Board. On January 1, 1961, Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Luney of
Oakdale, Illinois came to serve our Home family. They are already
popular with the Home family and Board. The Board feels the
guidance of a man and wife is preferable since our Home family
and buildings have been enlarged. Dr. and Mrs. Luney occupy the
Florence B. O'Neill Tibby residence across Burgess Street from
our campus.
Although the Board of Directors suffered no losses by death
this year, we record with sorrow the passing of Dr. C. B. Metheny.
He had been a member of our Advisory Board for several years.
The Home family has had twelve additions this year:
Miss Mary Hoehnle
College Hill Congregation
Mrs. J. Walker Wilson College Hill
Miss Eleanor Woodburn Topeka "
Miss Inez Smith Bloomington "
Miss Lillian McCracken Geneva "
