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.

Letter To Archie From SE White - Oct 21, 1918

The Natoma Central Telephone Co.

 

Monday Morning Oct 21, 1918

 

Dear Archie,

 

Your letter come Saturday found us all well. Granma, Mattie, Hester and I went to Osborne Thursday afternoon. Granma had 10 tickets out. We come out Sat P.M. It tried to rain a little Friday but did not amount to much. Joe and Nettie went out yesterday we got 5 ducks. Bob went to K.U. last Tuesday have had a letter and two cards from him. No word abou you two boys yet will let you know when we do. No news here. Yesterday Willie run over a turkey of your friend Mrs. T. and she sent him down a note telling him to send her $4.00 within 6 hours, but he has not sent it yet and so I suppose there will be something doing soon.

 

Well, I will have to stop write often. – Granpa (S.E. White)
