On December 28, 2005 my cousin was
called by a lady who had been to an estate sale during the year. She
had bought a box of Christmas decorations. As she decorated for
Christmas, she opened the box and at the bottom found a 12 x 18" pastel
drawing, a book on Purves by Ray Hancock, a high school annual, some
family photos, and some other family effects. All were wrapped in a
sheet. She sent these to my cousin who recently sent them on to me. It
is only by the thoughtfulness of that lady that this 1867 drawing of my
great granduncle and his wife Amanda is available.
