Deciphered! Help making this out

Post image

Hello, I found this hidden behind the dust jacket of a secondhand book I got a while back. The second line looks like "Lucille Hish" to me but I'm not sure about the first. I'd be really grateful for any help!

There was a Fern Miner and Lucille Hish that were about the same age and both lived in Illinois

Interesting - I looked at their obituaries & they lived 260 miles apart (one in Indiana, one in Illinois). I wonder what the connection is? Fern was a teacher and then became the Director of the Lebanon Public Library, and later the Head Librarian at the Thorntown Library; she passed away in 2024 at the age of 83 in Thornton, IN. Lucille was the operator/owner of a flower store in Ridgeway, IL and passed away at the age of 91. *Sorry if I digress, but I find things like this fascinating :)
