Cecile Archangel Venia was born Dec. 1 or 2, 1908 in Temperance, Michigan, where her parents, Harvey and Lyda Venia owned the General Store. She never married, but had a very interesting life. She was an actress on stage in New York in the late twenties, a radio actress in Detroit, a photographer in Chicago, and at one time, an industrial "spy". She was a glamorous woman with auburn hair and a flair for dressing and the dramatic. She frequently took vacations to Florida before it was common to do so, and even visited Cuba before Castro and his regieme took over. She was prominent in the Toledo Business women's Association. She died in 1988.
