Butts, Kathleen McKee, 1900-1977
Kathleen McKee Butts attended IU Bloomington from 1918-1921, though she did not complete her degree. The bulk of materials included are her writings, which consist of radio scripts, stories, and editorials published in the Plainfield Messenger circa 1934. Personal materials consist mainly of items retained by Butt's father, Dr. Joseph Fennell McKee, and are comprised of correspondence, legal documents, newspaper clippings, and pocket-sized notebooks. Much of the information in these records pertains to Dr. McKee, his wife Irene Sullivan McKee and her father John E. Sullivan, and the subsequent legal proceedings and personal issues involving their divorce and custody of their child Kathleen.
