Introduction

Alexia was a beautiful girl. Happy. Smart. Pretty. Her life was tragically cut short by a kettle of boiling water tipped over her accidentally at 9 years and this tragic memory stayed with my mother, her older sister all her life. She was not an only child! Her older siblings were Keith, Marie, Victor and a younger sister Margaret, still living in 2014. All had children but the memory of Alexia haunted my mother, as you would expect. Reading that she was an only child made the memory of a memory worse. Alexia should never be forgotten.

Did you know?

In 1924, in the year that Alexia Cecilia Mcphee was born, in May, wealthy college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb kidnapped and killed 14 year old Robert Franks "in the interest of science". Leopold and Loeb thought that they were intellectually superior and that they could commit the perfect crime and not be caught. They were brought in for questioning within 8 days and quickly confessed. Clarence Darrow was hired as their defense lawyer, getting them life imprisonment instead of a death sentence. Loeb was eventually killed in prison - Leopold was released after 33 years, dying of a heart attack at age 66.

Did you know?

In 1930, by the time she was just 6 years old, on August 6th, N.Y. Supreme Court Judge Joseph Crater went through papers in his office, destroyed some of them, withdrew all his money from the bank - $5,150, sold his stock, met friends at a restaurant for dinner and disappeared after getting into a taxi (or walking down the street - his friends' testimony later changed). His disappearance was reported to the police on September 3rd - almost a month later. His wife didn't know what happened, his fellow Justices had no idea, and his mistresses (he had several) said that they didn't know. While his disappearance was front page news, his fate was never discovered and after 40 years the case was closed, still without knowing if Crater was dead or alive.
