"The Muncie Star"

Title

"The Muncie Star"

Description

Before the move to South Dakota, the Mellettes lived in Muncie, Indiana, where Arthur managed and partially owned the Muncie Times. During this time, Maggie’s two eldest children, Wylie (age 10) and Charlie (age 9) constructed this publication, The Muncie Star, which featured children’s jokes and short accounts of exciting events in their young lives. This memento of childhood conveys the joys of growing up and, perhaps, the joys of mothering through these early years.
