Mr. and Mrs. ClausIn the 1940s John A. "Santa" Roolf became too ill to go downtown and meet with little boys and girls. Many children, especially near his home in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, wrote or visited him, especially at Christmas time. This article is from a Pittsburgh paper, perhaps in the late 1940s. |

Mr. and Mrs. Claus lived in Turtle Creek for a while, where they raised a family of four little elves named Joseph, John, Edward, and Marie. |
