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.

Post Card Sept 9, 1948



 



It's times like this I wish the last name was signed. I have both sides (TRUE and BIRGE) that this could go to or come from. One of these days I will figure it out. I believe this is one of Solon's siblings children, as the True family all moved to OR from KS and OH. 

1919 Golden Wedding Celebration!

 



"Father, Mother & Uncle Will True" 

That would be Solon Campbell True married to Sarah Anna Birge True married 11 Nov 1869, Tebo Township, Henry Co, Missouri. 

William "Will" Merit True b 27 Dec 1857, Mercer, Mercer, Missouri, d. 18 Feb 1938, El Reno, Canadian, Oklahoma. (He was married twice)

I wish they would have said who the one behind William is. It is probably one of the 2 other brothers of Solon. They could be Cyrus or Lawrence G. True. Of the 9 children there were 4 boys, 5 girls. Solon's father was Mason True married to Esther Baker Campbell.
