A letter sent to a former Mayor of Kosciusko from President Franklin D. Roosevelt celebrating Kosciusko’s Centennial has been donated to the city.
The letter, and a program from the 1934 celebration, were presented to Mayor Tim Kyle from former Kosciusko resident Stokes McMillan, author of the book “One Night of Madness.”
McMillan said the two documents have been passed down through his family but he felt it was time to donate both of them to the citizens of Kosciusko.
The letter from the Roosevelt is addressed to L. S. Sanders, who is McMillan’s grandfather and the man who started The Star-Herald newspaper.
Kyle said the plan is to have both documents framed and put on display at city hall.
