Biographical Note
Rebecca Traill Fletcher was born at Natick, Massachusetts to Francis Marshall and Susan M. Hanton Andrews on June 19, 1881, the oldest of four children and allegedly a descendent of a Colonial era witch. She married Fletcher Hodges, a doctor, in Manchester, Massachusetts on September 1, 1904. The Fletchers had two children. She moved to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1902, to teach at the old Girls Classical School (founded by May Wright Sewall) and taught at Tudor Hall during World War I. She also served as president of the Indiana Society, National Society of Colonial Dames, and vice president and president of the Propylaeum. She wanted to serve as a Women's Army Corp during World War II but was turned down, so she became a model for L. S. Ayres. She died on August 6, 1973 in Michigan while visiting a daughter. She is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Indiana.
