“In memory of the girl in blue, killed by train, December 24, 1933 - unknown but not forgotten. The newer stone on the ground reads: Girl in Blue identified as Josephine Klimczak, December 24, 1933.
On Christmas Eve day in 1933, a young woman wearing blue left a boarding house in Willoughby, Ohio, after asking about local church services. A few minutes later, she walked into the path of a train. No one knew where she had come from or who she was. The townspeople donated money for a funeral and eventually a tombstone. She remained unidentified until 1993, when a newspaper article about her death created renewed interest and she was finally able to be identified as Josephine Klimczak.”
