LETTERS FROM 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.

Oma (McNeal) Whitson Sept 1960

A letter sent to my grandfather, Archie Wineland, asking about his family history.

Even back then people wanted to know about their family history. I'm not sure which White family book we are in, but I will say, we are out in a lot of family history books, as Mable Matheson Wineland, my grandmother, gave out that information to a lot of family members. As much as it pains me to know there is a photo of our family that will be the death of me! I hated that photo and yet I have found it published in at least 3 family history books. To think of all the pictures out there of me, that is the one people will see for years to come. (Don't know what I did to deserve that!)
