Wandering Around The Family Tree

 Fri Nov  4.  Charles is trying to sell  the Pembroke Farm. He went to see a house in Buffalo offered as part payment.

I'm very lucky to have several of my grandmother Evelyn Clara Call's (1895-1962) photo albums. And perhaps even luckier that she labeled many of the photos - so I know roughly when and where they were taken, and who was in the photos.  My grandmother attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1915-1916, and then Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from 1916-1919.

I looked at the nice appearing elderly woman and saw  Alice Pratt Weaver!  Was glad to see her, and we visited quite a while before bed time.
