Living with Love: Typescript (Draft)
Collection — Box: 1
Identifier: Mss-0245
The collection consists of a photocopy of a 271-page typewritten draft of Living with Love and a photocopy of a January 22, 1986 typewritten cover letter from Wick in Cleveland, OH to Wright Bryan in Clemson, SC. The draft contains descriptions of her childhood, adulthood and visits to family in New York, NY, San Francisco and other locations in California, Cleveland, Louisville and Beattyville in Kentucky, and several cities in South Carolina including Calhoun Falls, Charleston, and Port Royal. It also discusses her branch of the Calhoun family at length. The draft differs from the published version by having two additional sections that focus on her life in Cleveland after 1927, particularly raising her sister Martha Calhoun Hickox's children after Martha and her husband's death, her marriage to Warren Corning Wick, the birth of their son, and the later fortunes of the Hickox and Wick families.
Mildred Washington Calhoun was born December 16, 1896 in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, the daughter of Patrick and Sarah Porter Williams Calhoun. She married Warren Corning Wick (1885-1980) in 1943 in Cleveland; they had one son, Calhoun Warren. She wrote Living with Love (1968), an autobiography; Living through Time (1988), an inspirational work; and Family Fun, a book of observations and adages. Wick died November 20, 1991 in Judson Park, Ohio.
