Winner of Free Storm Door

Aluminum Center, Inc. advertisement, Anderson Herald, Anderson, Indiana, May 23, 1963, page 15


Looks like great-grandpa Virgil WRIGHT was a winner!  At least in 1963 of a free storm door.  This was part of an advertisement in the Anderson Herald by the Aluminum Center, Inc. of Anderson.  Having just replaced my storm door, I can appreciate a free one!


The ad states the Aluminum Center was located at 1419 Main Street in Anderson.

FindAGrave Success: Phillip D. LeMasters (d. 1869)

Thanks to FindAGrave volunteer, Natalie Herdman, I now have a photograph of the tombstone of Phillip D. LeMASTERS (1869-1869), the infant son of Luman Walker and Mary Keziah (CHEW) LeMASTERS.  Phillip is buried in the Webster Cemetery in Darke County, Ohio.


My database shows his dates of birth and death are January 28, 1869 and May 1, 1869.  However, the memorial states death date November 5, 1869.  Hard to read, but they may be correct.

Wordless Wednesday: The Wright grandchildren

Mother & Dad Wright, grandchildren

This is a photo of my maternal great-grandparents, Virgil Lee and Edna Muriel "Peach" (PIERCE) WRIGHT, taken with their grandchildren, circa 1946.  The photo came from the collection of cousin Charlie High.
