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.

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.

Joe Seaman's Passing - Letter From Geo White to Archie Wineland

Osborne, Kansas

August 2st, 1961

Dear Archie and Mable

Joe passed away last Thursday, has been in hospital about two months. Guess the fortune teller told Mable the truth. I was down to see him a couple times. He changed his mind about be buried at Winfield and was buried beside Nettie in Natoma cemetary.

He sure suffered, His corpse didn’t look like Joe. I had a time getting hold of Bob as he was in the hills and I finally got him and he was at funera. Also Wm and Katie as they were in Bolder but are going on to St. Louis to see Richard and then are going back to Calif and then come back next July when they can get their house as it is rented until then. Dr. said out there that Wm would have to come back and take more treatments. He can’t walk without crutches yet.

We are having nice cool weather now and plenty of moisture.

As Ever Uncle Geo.
