I'll certainly take it to heart. What you say about the "run screaming reflex" and "sadness fatigue" really hit home--even though I felt safe, knowing I've been separated by decades from the trauma. I think what I'll do--after finishing the business at hand of the rest of this story--is take a break and just share some of the mystery photographs. There are so many more of them....Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-22859223108752749562013-04-24T20:59:17.760-07:002013-04-24T20:59:17.760-07:00Absolutely!

That gives me confirmation about Frances, and reminds me that I've yet to pursue further information on Mary Vincent and Joel Woodworth--Joel, by the way, being a name that has been passed down to the current generation, and one, I believe, that had deep roots in this family's history.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-44641968538901465562013-04-24T20:56:05.063-07:002013-04-24T20:56:05.063-07:00Bit by bit, these additional confirmations are sur...Bit by bit, these additional confirmations are surfacing. I imagine the difference in initials was merely owing to a typo somewhere along the way.<br /><br />Did you happen to notice the age disparity between Frances and her second husband?

You've been so thorough and examined all leads, it seems to me. I believe you are entitled to take a big break . . . that's what the "run screaming" reflex is telling you, I'd say.<br /><br />Maybe a quest into another branch of the family will turn up some more ebullient stories! And these unsolved questions will always be there for you to find on some other day.<br /><br />This has happened to me so many times! Sadness fatigue. In Moby-Dick, one of Melville's characters advises, "Do not look to long into the heart of the fire!"Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-56303016483963881302013-04-23T19:55:03.828-07:002013-04-23T19:55:03.828-07:00Although there are sometimes clues that can be fou...Although there are sometimes clues that can be found locally, thanks to library collections of local genealogical societies and historical societies...but a trip to Wisconsin and Iowa is not in my immediate future, unfortunately.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-17610058018838554092013-04-23T17:34:22.942-07:002013-04-23T17:34:22.942-07:00I see Iggy is hot on the trail..if it is out there...I see Iggy is hot on the trail..if it is out there he will find it.
