DH Parker Letter

[OLD GEEZER]

Chuck: I made a mistake on one of my Parkers by giving Mark the wrong ser. no. by one digit and he was very happy to correct my mistake and didn't charge me. I will wait for the new letter. Thanks

Edgar: If you do find something on Mr. Seymour that would be great. Thanks Thomas

I'll give you guys a glimpse of what the style of writing looks like. The first is the order book showing who ordered Geezer's gun. Note the capitol letter of the last name.

The second picture is of the index listing the customers who's name starts with S. Note the different ways the S was written. I see three different styles indicating three people entered the data. E.L. Seymour is third from the bottom.

Anyone who has spent any serious time researching family history will feel your pain. Drilling down through census records and other documents from a day when everything was hand written and many people seemed to wish to emmulate John Hancocks flourish will test your detective skills and patience

keep at it Chuck - ( I'm not saying it gets easier - I'm just trying to encourage you )
