Admin/Biographical History |
Claudia Marie Kelty (17 Jul 1918 - 12 Dec 2002), was the daughter of Henry and Marie (Baril) Kelty who moved to Winchester about 1920-1921, living first on Washington Street and from about 1924 at 52 Oxford Street, placing her in the Wyman School district. The family moved to Arlington by April 1931, and Kelty graduated from Arlington High School in 1935. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, winning the first prize in the design department upon graduation, she served on the school's board of directors. She painted professionally under her maiden name. With husband Stephen Maurice Edgell (1915-1981), a professional photographer, she returned to Winchester, where, in the late 1950s, the Edgells took up residency at 8 Sheffield West. The Wyman Elementary School which Kelty attended was the third building with that name, built in 1924 on north side of Church Street and since converted to condominiums. |
