It's time to reveal our #maskedupmonday Northfielder! This week we have a masked-up Maggie Lee! Maggie Lee was born in Northfield in January, 1921. After graduating from Northfield High School, Maggie worked in accounting briefly before taking a position at the Northfield News. Maggie worked at the Northfield News for an astounding 68 years, eventually becoming editor. Maggie continued to write for the newspaper even after her retirement. Maggie Lee was also a founding member of the Northfield Historical Society. By the time Maggie passed away in 2013, she had become famous in Northfield for her wealth of Northfield knowledge and her love of cats and the color purple. Thanks for playing, check back next week for another Masked-up Monday!
Enjoy Cemetery Stories on location, or from home this year! Try both!
