Amelia Earhart Putnam at the Ballingall Hotel, where she stayed on her second visit to Ottumwa. The headline on the October 16, 1936 Ottumwa Courier reads Belgium is Swept by War Fears. She arrived the morning of October 16, and according to the newspaper of that day she looked "very smart in her mannish tweeds -- a plaid skirt topped by a brown sweater and brown coat, lined with the plaid. She is a busy person, too; carries a typewriter and was already (sic) for work when visited in her room at the Ballingall hotel where she had just arrived"
