“Walt,
They’ll find me in the water at Island Park. I couldn’t die and leave the children. At least they’ll never suffer.
Lou”
Family members searching Island Park found Lucille sitting on a curb in a daze. She was unable to recognize her relatives and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Police attempted to question Lucille, but she spoke unintelligibly and was unable to answer any questions. The Probate Court ordered her to be committed for an indefinite period. Walter Sr. later told police “she was nervous as hell and lost her mind, I guess. I should have never left her yesterday afternoon.” Acting Coroner A. P. McDonald said the children had been dead for about an hour when Walter Sr. discovered them.

April 8th Total Solar Eclipse
What is a solar eclipse? It’s when the moon passes between the sun and earth and completely blocks the face of the sun. The sky will go dark like at dusk.
When watching the eclipse, it’s important to be careful not to stare directly at it. It’s best to view through “eclipse glasses”, a handheld solar viewer, or using a pinhole projector. If using eclipse glasses, make sure they are not cheap knockoffs. Use only eclipse glasses that comply with the ISO 12312-2 international standard. Do not use regular sunglasses. Using regular sunglasses during the eclipse will cause eye injury. Safe solar viewers are thousands of times darker than regular sunglasses.
If you take the time to watch the eclipse, make sure to take pictures and share!
