Kate Titus Delong

Lake City, Iowa, USA

Brick Section G - Row 15

Kate Titus DeLong (1892-1993) could climb a tree, and play a sonata on the piano; scrub laundry on a washboard, and delight in the first crocus of spring; pick ditch marijuana for tea, and rule her roost with an iron hand. The 160 acre farm where she raised a family and lived for nearly 70 years was a constant source of frustration and pleasure, despair and joy for her. But ultimately, it became a place of deep satisfaction and comfort. At the side of her husband, she built what is now the family farm, securing for us, her
grandaughters, the opportunities the land offers for expressing life as well as making a living.
