Hello All,
I just signed up tonight on the Blackford list, my family lived there from
1916 to 1992 that I am aware of. My Great Aunt Mary E. Shaw Cook passed
away in 1992 and I have most of her diaries, pictures, etc. My family there
was primarily SHAW, Frank and Minerva Shaw were Mary's Parents, her sister
Enola married Clyde Flowers, her brother Earl married Fern Purdy in Michigan
[my line].
I am interested in any SHAW researchers from the area as well as BRIGHT,
some of the other names that come up in collateral lines are SHIPLEY,
COBERLY, SMITH, SLIFFER, LAFAVOUR,
BAKER. I have pictures from Montpelier to Milo to share, including school
classsroom pictures from around 1907 to 1915. Just tonight I was given some
of Mary's papers from my mother that included a recipe book with favorite
recipes from family friends ie: Brumfield, Sypolt, Henderson, Shade, from
about 1916 to 1920.
Mary Shaw married Carl Cook in 1924, he was of the COOK, SILLS, family, his
sister Pearl married a STONEROCK. if any of this sounds familiar drop a
line.
