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.

Mead WA 1965 - John Kirk (Wineland)


Mead Wash

Sept 11 – 65

Dear Bro & Sis,

Now don’t faint or fall over dead. I will write you a line to let you know how we are over here. I hope that you folk are all well as we are over here except Frank. He seems to be holding his own pretty good some days he feels real Bad then some days he seems to feel Better he is just skin & Bones. He has a tumor in his lower abdomen that is getting real large.

The Doctors have quit giving him anything for Cancer he gets his pain shots & pills he has suffered a awful lot.

I wonder why some people have to suffer so much.
Is your Daughter and her children still there near you if so I will bet you have a time I know how we enjoy our grand children. Well guess I will close.

With love your Bro John & Iola
