Most of us have things we treasure that belonged to our Father or Mother, and then we have things that have been handed down through the years and kept in the families such as things that were bought or handmade.This site is dedicated to those ancestors that passed things that meant a lot to them through the years. To perserve them even more Ann and I have created this page to keep the memory alive.
If you have a family treasure that you would like to share with us, please send a picture along with a story that you can share about the treasure to Ann (Jobe) Brown or Freida Wells .

Freida talked to her mother, Mary Alice, about this reader and her reply is:
Mother and I figured and Grandpa would have used this book around 1890 and he would have been either in Mt. Vernon Missouri or Latham, Kansas. Not sure what year his sister Alice left there and came to KS. He and his sister Frances 'Kate' Puckett were living with Alice and her husband Newton Hinton in 1900 in KS.
