Aviation History - Lady Lindy, Amelia Earhart's Life History   AviationHistory.org - Amelia Earhart         Despite a few privileged years living with her grandparents in Atchison, Kansas, Amelia Earhart's childhood years were fairly transitional. Her father's job took him to Des Moines, where the family joined him a few years later. In 1913 they moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, where times were hard for the family. A year later, Amelia, her mother and sister, moved to Chicago and Amelia finished school at Hyde Park High School. Amelia began college at Ogontz School in Rydal, Pennsylvania, but during Christmas vacation in 1917, she visited her sister Muriel at St. Margaret's College in Toronto. World War I had begun and Amelia saw the returning wounded, she was greatly touched by their need for help. She took a first aid course and worked as a nurses aide at Spadina Military Hospital. During her spare time she watched airplanes take off from a nearby airfield.
