Margaret Henning Interview

On today's episode, we explore Keith Island which is an important part of Big Lake. As mentioned in the last episode on France C. Badger, A.S. Badger of Chicago owned the Keego Estate on Big Lake, and it is believed he told Carl Keith about the island, as both Badger and Keith were from Kenilworth, Illinois. In 1908, Carl and Cornelia Keith purchased the island for a summer home for their family. In December of 2018, Kay Krans interviewed Margaret Larsen Henning a member of the Keith family of Big Lake. As a piece of local history, the interview transcript is read for this episode by Sarah Krembs and Kay Krans.
