2012 Update

This year I thinned out my collection a little. I sold the photos and ephemera from Elaine Dee Wolf, the photo of Amos B. Sayres and a few other Philadelphia photos. I acquired a wonderful cabinet card photo of Simeon Hasty (originally of Limerick, ME), and his wife Mary and son Ollie, when they were living in Nebraska. I did a little research on them and listed it on eBay, but am happy that it didn't sell. I have grown attached to them.

I have also made up my mind that I will put Nellie Blake's diary online beginning next year. I would like to go to Providence and visit the RI Historical Society library first, to do a little more research.
