Emily Beatie Holt
Emily Beatie Holt,
was born in Atlanta, GA August 22, 1911, and moved to
Albany when very young. She graduated from Albany High in 1929.
She resided in Albany (less time in California during WWII) until after
the flood of 1994. She has been in Fort Wayne, Indiana
since then. Her daughter, Cathy Norton (’52), writes, “Mom is
quite a woman. She danced with Arthur Murray Studios after Dad
died in 1983 and continued to exercise until just recently. She
only quit driving in 2004!” Cathy sent several copies of photos of her
mother’s younger days, including some class reunion pictures. She says,
“You will notice some familiar names on the back, Cornelia Haley
(Haley Ford Motor Co.), Maurice Gortatowsky (as in the Albany Theater),
and Wes Strom (as in Sunlite Cleaners).
Our reigning oldest living Indian Princess
was 99 this past August. She celebrated by going out “to the
ballpark” to see her Braves play!
Her grandson, Tony, threw out the
first ball for her!
