BURIAL: (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, page 149.) The remains of Nathaniel Tompkins, father of Richard, was removed by his great grandson, Robert Lent Tompkins, from the Ryder Burying Ground on Sunset Hill to Dale Cemetary in the David B.

MORE BURIAL: (source: file named 'Descendants of John Tompkins', compiled by Scott Tompkins Dec 30, 2001.): Originally buried at Tompkins Ground, near May Knoll in Ossining, later removed on March 6, 1930 to Dale Cemetery, Ossining (Remains, Book I Page 230, Section F, Lot 80,86 #5681, age 87. Nathaniel's remains were removed and buried at Dale at plot of Joanne, Phebe B. Tompkins of Ossining and David B. Tompkins of New Castle. (Source: Dale Cemetery Records, Ossining Historical Society).

MORE BURIAL: (source: file named 'Descendants of John Tompkins', compiled by Scott Tompkins Dec 30, 2001. Email correspondence from Alan Tompkins to Scott Tompkins): Nathaniel Tompkins (1703-1790), first NY born that I come down from was buried originally in a cemetery which was flooded for the Croton Reservoir. It's near Pines Bridge in Westchester County not far from Ossining. His body and tombstone were removed and he was reinterred at Dale Cemetery. The tombstone is in very good condition. Tompkins farm not at IBM Thomas J Watson Center. It was where present day Hudson Hills Golf Course and Maryknoll are located . Joseph H. Tompkins, my great grandfather was last Tompkins on this farm. He sold it prior to 1900, as on that census he is living in a two storied dwelling in Ossining. Maryknoll is off the old Rte 34 as it leaves Ossining to the north east heading towards Millwood. The cemetery has an access road leading to it across the golf course. My brother Don has the original deed and I have copy of same. Cemetery in fairly good order, as memory serves me there is something like 87 graves there. Many stone walls which correspond to early 19th century maps of the area.

MORE BURIAL: (source: email from Alan Tompkins to Sheri Sleyzak Feb 2003): My brother, Don, has original deed to the Tompkins Burial Ground on Pines Bridge Road, outskirts of Ossining. It is actually in township of New Castle. I have typed up copy of the deed. As for Dale Cemetery, there are scores and scores of Tompkins' buried there including quite a number who have been re-interred there due to other cemetries being flooded when Croton Reservoir was made back in early 1900s. The community where NATHANIEL TOMPKINS (1703-1790) was originally buried was very close to the Tompkins Farm and I assume many of the family was buried there. As for the cemetery on Pines Bridge Road, there are something like 87 graves therein.

Notes for AMOS TOMPKINS: ABOUT THE TOMPKINS BURYING GROUND. (Source: File called 'Descendants of John Tompkins' by Scott Tompkins.)Verbatim Copy: "The Tompkins Burying Ground

"Less than a mile northeast of the Ryder burying ground (in Ossining, NY) set back from Pines Bridge Road and enclosed by a stone wall, is the much larger Tompkins burying ground. It contains some 75 recorded graves, dated 1797 to 1899.

"The most imposing monument in the burying ground is also one of the oldest: a red sandstone for Amos Tompkins (1742-1802). His family came to this country in 1635, settling mainly in Fairfield County, Connecticut. His father, Nathaniel (1703-1790), was born in Yorktown and owned extensive properties in New Castle. Nathaniel and his wife, Mary Forshee Tompkins, had ten children, of whom Amos was the fifth.

"Amos Tompkins' farm extended from Pines Bridge Road to Old Croton Dam Road (Route 134) [in Westchester County, New York]. He may have been the one who established the family burying ground - the oldest stone is for an infant granddaughter, who died in 1797.

"Other family members in the burying ground include not only Amos's children and grandchildren, but also his brother Richard (1745 -1813), plus a wide assortment of nephews, nieces, cousins, spouses, and in-laws. Some of those buried here appear not to have been relatives at all, but simply neighbors and friends. In 1850, Amos's grandson Brundage Tompkins (Jr.) deeded the burying ground (separate from the rest of his property) to several of his direct and collateral relatives.

"In the early 20th century, the property containing the burying ground was acquired by the Hudson Hills Golf Club. The burying ground was in effect abandoned, and long neglected. The property now belongs to IBM, as the site for a new research center. The site plan commits IBM to restoring and preserving the burying ground.

ABOUT THE TOMPKINS BURYING GROUND. (Source: File called 'Descendants of John Tompkins' by Scott Tompkins.) Verbatim Copy: "The Tompkins Burying Ground

"Less than a mile northeast of the Ryder burying ground (in Ossining, NY) set back from Pines Bridge Road and enclosed by a stone wall, is the much larger Tompkins burying ground. It contains some 75 recorded graves, dated 1797 to 1899.

"The most imposing monument in the burying ground is also one of the oldest: a red sandstone for Amos Tompkins (1742-1802). His family came to this country in 1635, settling mainly in Fairfield County, Connecticut. His father, Nathaniel (1703-1790), was born in Yorktown and owned extensive properties in New Castle. Nathaniel and his wife, Mary Forshee Tompkins, had ten children, of whom Amos was the fifth.

"Amos Tompkins' farm extended from Pines Bridge Road to Old Croton Dam Road (Route 134) [in Westchester County, New York]. He may have been the one who established the family burying ground - the oldest stone is for an infant granddaughter, who died in 1797.

"Other family members in the burying ground include not only Amos's children and grandchildren, but also his brother Richard (1745 -1813), plus a wide assortment of nephews, nieces, cousins, spouses, and in-laws. Some of those buried here appear not to have been relatives at all, but simply neighbors and friends. In 1850, Amos's grandson Brundage Tompkins (Jr.) deeded the burying ground (separate from the rest of his property) to several of his direct and collateral relatives.

"In the early 20th century, the property containing the burying ground was acquired by the Hudson Hills Golf Club. The burying ground was in effect abandoned, and long neglected. The property now belongs to IBM, as the site for a new research center. The site plan commits IBM to restoring and preserving the burying ground.

Notes for JUDITH ACKER: THE ACKER FAMILY: (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, pages 128-129.) " The Acker Family and Name. The Acker or Ecker (so written on the old Dutch Church records) family were early of Philipse Manor and long prominently identified with it. In fact those bearing that name and the varied variations of it, were numerous in all of the Dutch settlements on Long Island and on both sides of the Hudson River as far as Albany. However, all of that name in this Manor are distinctly traceable to Wolfert and Jan (John) Acker, who were from Midwout, Long Island. "Sunnyside" was the home of Elder Wolfert Acker and his descendants for several generations, and a part of the original house, or "Roost", as Washington Irving facetiously entitles it, is still preserved in it. Abraham and Jemima Acker, the great grandparents of Smith K. Acker, bought a farm in the town of Mt. Pleasant (Crotonville), north of Ossining, New York, from the Commissioners of Forfeitures on November 1, 1792. It was on this farm that Jemima Tompkins and Smith K. Acker lived and reared their family. They are buried in the family plot in Dale Cemetary, Ossining, New York."

Notes for STEPHEN TOMPKINS: CHURCH INVOLVEMENT AND BIO: (Excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, page 113.)

"The Christian Church. The first action for the erection of the Christian Church at Pine Plains, New York, was at a meeting held at Lafayetteville, Dutchess County, New York, June 12, 1858. As a result subscription papers were thereafter circulated and at the next meeting, Auguast 21, 1858, at Uriah Hicks', $500 had been subscribed. Elder P. Roberts was present and suggested that $300 additional be raised at this meeting, which was done, and Uriah Hicks, Benjamin Wilbur, Jeptha Wilbur, Samuel I. Hicks and Stephen Tompkins were elected "Trustees of the First Christian Society of Pine Plains." The church organization took place September 7, 1856, at the house of Stephen Tompkins by Elder Philetus Roberts and R. B. Eldridge, and was recorded in the county clerk's office October 22, 1860. The church edifice (located in West Pine Plains) was completed the next year (1859) and dedicated, June 16, by Eli Fay, of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The early pastors have been, in succession, Philetus Roberts, R. B. Eldridge, W. B. Hote, Gardner Dean, George B. Fuller, L. D. North, and J. Q. Evans, and supplies later have been from the Christian Biblical Institute at Stanfordville and other places. Stephen Tompkins, like his brother, William, devoted most of his life to agricultural pursuits, and, too, was very successful. His marriage to Catherine Acker cemented the Acker and Tompkins families firmly as Stephen Tompkins' sister, Jemima Tompkins, married Smith K. Acker, the brother of Catherine Acker."

He married JANE MERRITT December 15, 1837 in Mt. Pleasant, Westchester Co., NY, daughter of JOHN MERRITT. She was born October 23, 1815 in NY, and died April 27, 1902.

Notes for WILLIAM TOMPKINS: BIO: (source: excerpt from : Ada C. Haight, The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, Ossining, New York. 1937, pages 121-122.) " William Tompkins, who was called from this earth January 23, 1894, was one of the well-known highly respected native citizens of Dutchess County, his birth having occured in the town of Pine Plains, March 9, 1810, and was a son of Judith Acker and Thomas Tompkins, and grandson of Philena Washburn and Richard Tompkins. His father, who was born in Westchester County, New York, December 19, 1779, devoted his entire life to agriculture in that county and in the town of Pine Plains, Dutchess County. His father passed away November 23, 1854. At the age of six years William Tompkins accompanied his parents to Westchester County, where he attended school and lived a rural life. He contributed his share to the cultivation and improvement of the old homestead and later secured employment on the sloops running from Sing Sing (Ossining) to New York City. He served as foreman on the construction when the aqueduct was built to New York, but most of his life was devoted to agricultural pursuit in which he was very successful. In the town of Mt. Pleasant, Westchester County, December 15, 1837, was celebrated the marriage of William Tompkins and Jane Merritt, daughter of John Merritt. After his marriage Mr. Tompkins removed to the town of Pine Plains where he engaged in farming until 1870 when he went to Rhinebeck and there lived for five years. On the expiration of that period he went to Clinton Corners, where his remaining years were passed in retirement. He was one of the self-made men of the county, having commenced life without capital other than his strong hands and resolute will, and attained to a fine position, socially and financially, among his fellow citizens. In his religious views he held to the faith of the Society of Friends, and his death was widely and sincerely mourned. In politics he was an earnest Republican."

Notes for THOMAS TOMPKINS, JR.: FROM 'THE RICHARD WASHBURN FAMILY GENEALOGY' by Ada C. Haight, Ossining, New York. 1937, page 134: "Thomas Tompkins and wife moved to DuBuque, Iowa, where they settled on a farm. They spent their entire life there as did their children, with the exception of William Tompkins, who in 1896 came east to visit and while here married Ophelia G. Tompkins Sherman, his cousin, of Clinton Corners, New York."

REGARDING FAMILY BELONGINGS: We have been handed down the above book, 'The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy' from Frank W. Tompkins (Uriah's son) and in the margins of page 134 there is pencil writing referring to Thomas Tompkins Jr as "great uncle" and "grandfather's brother". The same is true for the next page, 135, where Ophelia Gertrude Tompkins Sherman is named "Aunt Sheil". William Tompkins (son of Thomas Tompkins Jr.) is referred to as "Grandfather's brother's son and 2nd cousin." Ophelia is Uriah's sister.

Also, we have have been handed down some photos from Marion Tompkins ( Uriah's grandaughter through his son William) and there are 2 photos made in a studio in Rock Rapids, Iowa. One is an older man with a long beard holding blonde twin babies. The other is a woman of about the same age. It is possible they may have something to do with this branch of the Tompkins family since Thomas lived in Iowa. Although DuBuque is on the east and Rock Rapids is in the upper far left corner of the state. Children of THOMAS TOMPKINS and SARAH LEWIS are: i. ANNA9 TOMPKINS, b. Unknown; d. Unknown. ii.

He married HARRIET LAVINA COONS February 27, 1878, daughter of JOHN COONS and CATHARINE PIESTER. She was born November 24, 1851 in Ancram, Columbia Co., NY, and died February 26, 1887 in Manhattan, NYC, NY.

Notes for URIAH WASHBURN TOMPKINS: OBITUARY OF URIAH TOMPKINS: Copy of original cutout newspaper clipping in family possession (unknown paper, possibly local in Cranford, NJ.) reads as follows (includes photo insert): The Passing of Uriah W. Tompkins "Grand Old Man" Uriah W. Tompkins, a life member of the Supreme Council of New York, who reached his 91st birthday Dec 12, passed away six days later, Dec. 18, at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. Frank W. Tompkins, 15 Tuxedo Place, Cranford, New Jersey. Nephritis and old age infirmities were the cause of death. Bro. Tompkins had been in attendance at 33 sessions of both the Supreme and Grand Council. At one time he was a member of the Commitee on laws of the Supreme Council. Despite his advanced age, he made the trip to the recent sessions of the Supreme Council to Victoria, British Columbia, and enjoyed every day of the long journey and the stay in Victoria. His most recent photo, taken in the Gardens at Victoria, is reproduced here. For 45 years, Bro. Tompkins had been a practicing lawyer, with offices at 256 Broadway. Forty-five years also represented his membership in the Royal Arcanum, as a member of Knickerbocker Council, No. 572, New York City. He was regent of the council many years ago, and of late years he was honored with the station of sitting past regent. In November, 1930, at the annual dinner of the Associated Grand Council Officers and District Deputies of the Metropolitan Districts, held in the grand ball-room of the Commodore hotel, Manhattan, Bro. Tompkins was the guest of honor, the reception being tendered as recognition of his 90th birthday. It was a joyous occassion for "the Grand Old Man of the Royal Arcanum." Until six weeks previous to his death, Bro. Tompkins was enjoying his usual good health, and appearing at his office daily. Then came the break-down due to nephritis. He was in bed for several weeks, and when improved he resumed trips to his office as late as Dec. 8. He also called on the editor at his office. His friends and associates noted that he had failed considerably. A few days later he took to his bed again where he lingered until his death. On Saturday, Dec. 12, his 91st birthday, scores of telegrams, birthday cards and floral tributes arrived at the home. The messages of friendship and good wishes were read to Bro. Tompkins who was happy to hear from his many Royal Arcanum brothers. Among the visitors at the home on Sunday, the day following his birthday, were Past Supreme Regent Knoeppel and Mrs. Knoeppel and Supreme Orator Willament and Mrs. Willament. Born in N.Y. State Bro. Tompkins was born in Stamford, Dutchess County, New York. He received his early education in Stamford before entering college for the study of law. He was a member of the Dutchess County Society from the date of its organization. Many years ago he was a professor of mathematics at the River View Military Academy, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Mrs. Tompkins died several years ago. There are three sons, Frank W. Tompkins of Cranford, N.J.; Harry L. Tompkins, of Ecuador, South America, and Willian C. Tompkins, of Woodhaven, Queens County, Long Island. The three sons are members of Knickerbocker Council. Besides the large number of Royal Arcanum officials and members of Knickerbocker Council who attended the funeral on Dec. 20, there was a delegation of officers and members of Radiant Lodge, F. & A. M., N.Y. City. Services were held in Trinity Church, Cranford, the interment following in Woodlawn cemetery, Bronx, N.Y. City. There were many beautiful floral tributes from the Supreme and Grand Councils and the Associate Grand Council Officers. Suddenly you were gone, Your smiles and you; And no one ever knew the road you took, but only That your ways Of kindness, and your face Of gladness, left an aching place Within the heart that no one else could fill. Now, seeing a blossom-covered bough, Or a white crown of snow On far blue hills, we know The world is sweeter for your having been Awhile therein.

Notes for HARRIET LAVINA COONS: OBITUARY OF HARRIET L. TOMPKINS: (New York Times. February 28, 1887): Tompkins.- On Feb. 26, Hattie L., wife of Uriah W. Tompkins. Funeral services at her late residence, No. 211 East 58th St., on Thursday, March 1, at 1 P.M.

ABOUT HER DEATH: Harriet Coons died about a year and a half after the birth of her third son, Frank. He was born on October 3, 1885. Family stories connected her death to her children somehow, eg. childbirth related. In fact, she died from pneumonia as a complication of measles. Her sister Catharine Coons never married and lived with Harriet's husband Uriah Tompkins and his three sons. They are together in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses in Manhattan, NYC. Later, Catharine was living back in Salt Point, NY in the 1930's.

RESIDENCE: Feb 26, 1887, at date of death, 211 E. 58th St., NY.

Envelope addressed to: Mr. Frank W. Tompkins Deer Island Granite Co Grand Central Terminal New York City

Salt Point, N.Y. Sept 8th.

Dear Frank, Thanks for the pictures. I think they are very good, especially mine, I usually look so catty. Abbie showes her age. She forgot to put in her lower teeth so her mouth looks shrunken. I enjoyed your visit too, the only fault was its shortness. After I left the station I didn't spend all afternoon in the 5 + 10 but visited them all in quest of a small sauce pan for Abbie. Finally had to go to a hard-ware store. Called on Hellen's sister in Wallaces. She had just returned from her vacation, spent in camp in the Adirondacks, had a wonderful time. Had a bumpy ride home on the bus, didn't make 20 miles an hour as we did in the morning, would have landed in the fence I guess if we had, had a seat to myself until we got to Gus Howels when a big colored woman got on, and I had her for a seat companion, found she lived in part of Buck's house, a very pleasant spoken woman. The nuthatches had been busy while I was away. The peanut dish was empty, as the cooler weather comes on their appetites grow more keen. I hope my sunflower seeds will turn out better than they did last year. The tall one you measured I think has grown a foot since, has a great big blossom on. Had a present of 17 strawberry plants. I have set them out in the bed by the rambler rose. They look real perky on account of the two days rain we are having. It is raining hard now I hope it will raise the water in the pond. I have been thinking why don't you lease a little spot of ground of Mr. Horsfield and put up a little cabin in the side hill by our pond that wouldn't be such a bad place and there is fish in the pond for I had a present of two messes of fish, bullheads & sunfish, this week, and with a car you could visit Uptons whenever you wished.

Sunday Eve

Had a rip snorter of a storm Saturday night, the wind blew a gale and the rain beat in the roof and on my corner of the house. I surely thought every thing in the yard would be blown to pieces. About twelve o'clock Abbie called up to me to come down as there was water dripping in the kitchen. So we padder around in the wet and set pans to catch the water. The kitchen room has a habit of springing a leak. The only thing I could see that was any ways damaged by the storm was my sunflowers. They lie with their heads flat on the ground and the two big ones in the corn patch are resting their heads on the roof of the toilet. Tomorrow I will try and pull them up. The water is pouring over the dam, looks quite different than when you were here. Abbie sends love and thanks you for the picture. Received a letter from Mr. Johnson, his wife broke her leg near the hip joint and has been in bed since March. He always asks after you and Eleanor. Says they have had a very pleasant cool summer. Eleanor had some trip down with her father, no wonder he was all in after a twelve hour ride, when 3 or 4 hours knocks you out. With lots & lots of love Aunt Dady Tell Eleanor I am enjoying the candies.

Monday afternoon.

This morning when I went in to mail my letter to you I found your letter so I held it over to add another bit. I remembered about the new roll of film you started on for the pictures that you were in so am prepared to wait a spell. Wasn't that a terrible thing about the Morro Castle disaster. I think the storm we had Saturday night was just the edge of that storm that caused the disaster. This forenoon I got the sunflowers braced up with strings so I hope the seeds will have a chance to ripen. You must have a wonderful growth of marigolds, but they can't compete with my two sunflowers. I wish I could measure the flowers, they are immense. Well you can keep busy on the plans of the Post Office and if you don't land the job you will at least done your best, wish you success. It certainly seems that the country is in an awful state, how we will pull out is a question. I guess things are getting out of hand with the President and the strikes, those that have work won't work and those that want to work? can't get it. My policy would be to starve the strikers untill they would be glad to go to work. Again with love and best wishes Aunt Dady Haven't seen a thing of Eleanors coat.

Notes for ELEANOR FRANCES BATTLE: BATTLE SURNAME ORIGINS: (source: The Richard Washburn Family Genealogy, pg 126): "The first Account on record of the Battle family was that their former residence was in Yorkshire, England, whence, disgusted by the passage of some ecclesiastical edicts, they fled to Ireland as an asylum, and stayed there for two years, only to be driven thence by the similar edicts. " Being dissenters from the established religion of the day there was no alternative left then but to flee still further, and they made their way to Virginia, in the years 1653 and 1654. "....The Battles did not come to Virginia by themselves, with them were Hunters, Sumners, Bakers, etc., connected by marriage and other family ties, evidently a considerable company who secured good grants of land in Virginia." Various spellings: Battle, Battaille, Battelle, Batles. Possible origins are French, Norman or Huguenot. Possible origin as a 'place' name, as in "John of the Battle" or "John who lived near the Battlefield."

Dear Will & family, Abbie and I certainly enjoyed your very interesting letter of your trip through this wonderful country and I can imagine how much you all enjoyed. I was so pleased to hear from you that it deserved a more prompt reply, but as you know time has a way of slipping away so quickly especially when one is busy. Fall always brings extra work, getting the house in order for winter the yard cleaned up. Trees are wonderful, only in the Fall when they begin to shed their leaves, I wish there weren't so many. I am very happy that you all were able to take the trip and see so many of the wonders & beauties of our country. I can fully appreciate how much you must have enjoyed every minute and returned all in good health which is a great blessing. I was in hopes you might make another trip up here before the winter set in and hear, if there are adjectives anough to express your feeling of the wonders you saw, but I guess you must have had traveling enough to last you for some time. There is no special news for me to write the summer has passed us in the same quiet way but short, Fall came along before I was ready for it. Abbie is holding her own fairly well, she is in a measure taking care of herself; she is able to get her meals and do the lighter things and what she cant do, I do, which is considerable. It is hard for her that her eyes are so bad she can read very little and sew not at all and consequently time hangs heavy - and she has never been able to take adversities with a smile. I read to her alot which she enjoys, it is very confining for me but as you know I was never much of a gadder. I was disappointed that I was unable to visit the DuBois's again this fall. I have to take it out in thinking of the good times I had last Fall. Frank and Eleanor visited me a few days in August on Frank's vacation. Eleanor seems fully recovered from her illness, let us hope she will stay well this winter for a change. You spoke of expecting Frank to ring you up. He was wondering why you hadn't called him up when you returned. You knew none of us knew just when you would get home. I thank you for all the many beautiful postals you sent me. It seemed to keep us in touch with your journeying. We have had many nice rains so our part of the country is looking fine. No severe killing frost so far. I suppose May was along with you on the trip. We have heard not a word about her how she stood the trip and was she benefited with the change. I have just received a letter from Mr. Johnson. He feels that he is growing old. I think I wrote you that Mrs. Johnson had fallen and broken her leg, in March, and with assistance she can just begin to walk. He wished to be remembered to you all and Mrs. Mars, would like to see you all, and he didn't mention macaroni! May, I have mailed a card on the back of my cabinet with your name on it, to be given to you, so you can be sure of that. We are having a regular [? Nor-Easter ], it has been beating on the house and Abbie's kitchen roof has leaked some, but not so bad as it has sometimes due to the holes after each rain. Abbie sends her love to you all as do I and especially to the "wonderful driver", if he hasn't anything to do but go to the movies, he might write to his Aunt Dady. Love to Mrs. Mars.

Salt Point, NY New Years Day 1935

Dear folks, Thank you all most heartily for your very generous Christmas gift. I shall spend it very wisely for things that I need and would otherwise go without. We had a very quiet Christmas. Abbie and I were invited over to Charles & Florences for dinner, a very nice turkey dinner. It was the first Abbie had been out for a meal in over a year. I was fearful it might be too much excitement for her but she stood it fine, ate a big dinner (for her) and chatted with Florences mother all after-noon, and came home quite happy. I guess it was effect of mind over manner, she just made up her mind it wouldn't hurt her to go and it didn't - got her out of the old rut and gave her something to think of. We had a little snow storm on Christmas day which made it seem more Christmasy but it didn't last only the day. Last night we had our first real snow storm and the country looks beautiful with its white covering. I love snow in the country but one hears many complaints from people that have to travel out. I know, you all, must have had a happy Christmas as always and now we are entering on another year. The country is in such a muddle and I wonder if President Roosevelt is going, with his schemes and new deals get us out of the muddle. I received a letter & card from Jennie Sherman Woodin. She spoke of you boys and wished to be remembered to you. She lives on a farm north of Clinton Corners her husband isn't well and I guess they have hard times to make ends meet. She said she had an old lady boarder which I imagine keeps the pot boiling. Paul is having one of his attacks of stomach trouble he looks miserable. I guess it was to much Christmas. Mason is home, I haven't seen him but once, he finishes his medical course this spring and then he will serve as an intern in some hospital, don't know where he will go. Abbie sends love and thanks for the pretty Christmas cards as do I for all gifts. I am going to answer Willies very interesting letter soon just keep up hope. With a Happy New Year to you all with lots of love, Aunt Dady
