Good reading and life was tough in the old days in THE country and I can attest to that

Thanks for joining in Shauna. The detail you have found is fascinating. I’m always reminding myself that the sad events we most often see recorded in official documents are (hopefully) balanced out by happy events that do not require official investigation or reporting.

Great post Shauna and thanks for the link to the Ancestors in Church publications article…very thought provoking and gives me something else to add to my To Do list!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I didn’t set out to make it sad, more trying to show what details might be out there if we are lucky and take the time to search the archives, and not just the obvious, indexed resources.

A sad occasion for his family, but a real insight into the man for his descendants.

The detail that moved me most about your story was the listing of a coathanger as part of his equipment. A very sad and interesting story. Thanks for sharing.

Such a sad ending for people who tried, toiled, so hard. Thank you for sharing their story.

What a sad story Shauna…our ancestors had challenges aplenty. Chances are Tom Price knew my Melvin ancestor in CT as he had tearooms there.
