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.

Any Idea?

 Today I was going through photos of my mother as well as a lot of the family. I would like to post a couple, but I found people are taking my photos and posting them as theirs. I had to mark them private because the information is always incorrect. 


Here is one I found. That's my mother in the front. I don't know who the children behind her are. I believe this was in OR before they moved to Seattle. If you might know who they are, I would love to find out. There is nothing written on the back. 


I thought I lost this photo when I gave it to the museum to post next to dads name on the plaque. They lost the photo anyway. When I found this, I was thrilled. I may send it to them through the email, so I can keep the original photo. 

This is some of the stuff I have on my family tree. I found a ton more letters to post here, so I have a lot of work to do, to get those letters posted. 

In the meantime, I thought you might like to see some photos from over 50 years ago.
