“Attached is a picture of Mary High. My mother had a picture of her grandmother and grandfather in her locket. I will have to get it later and see what if I can scan those. Also attached is a picture of John taken at Niagara Falls. The original picture was a souvenir postcard and he was with his son. I cropped their faces individually a long time ago. I don’t know the date. My mother cut that part off. I’ll scan the original and send it later. Also attached is Mary’s church card.”
