LETTERS FROM THE PAST

This blog is to honor those who have come before us. These are family letters that I have had for years and wanted to be able to share them with family. It's an interesting way of knowing how life was in the past.

Myron F Taylor with 3 of his buddies in 1952. Over the last 20 years I've been working on our family letters. Letters that have been passed down. Including letters from my parents to my great-grandmother. Every letter was saved by my great grandmother and grandmother. I hope someday to either print them or give them to a museum. I am copying the letters–not being able to photocopy all of them. Each letter is in script. I know today very few can read them. I hope you enjoy them.

Loss Of My Father

I lost my father on March 25th. He meant the world to me. It's hard to believe he's gone. He is the one in the photo of this blog. He died 3 days before his 85th Birthday.

I have a suitcase of letters that were written by him and my mother to my grandparents. Those will not be posted on here - in my life time - because it's too close to my heart. Even now after he's gone. So, I will continue to post letters and work on my genealogy. I was doing the Taylor's for him and me both. Now it's just for me. My mother enjoys seeing the work I do on genealogy and I'll continue to share with her.

I will try and get more letters posted this year. I keep moving them around, and know I need to get them posted for other family members.

Keep checking back - there is more coming!
