Source 081 – Personal Letter by E.B. Ketchum

May 16, 1902 by Admin

Author: EB Ketchum
Title: Letter to “Brother” George [George S. Thomas]
Date: 16 May 1902
Curator: Christine Fisher
Note: I initially thought this to be Jane Thomas’s husband, Eugene B. Ketchum; however, some records indicate that he died in 1884. Could it be this letter is written by his namesake/son?

Manton, MI
May 16, 1902

Yours of the 14th received in regard to the estate my wife wishes you to pay the money and as soon as the first sale is made to take the same out and oblige yours respectfully. EB Ketchum
