Message Board Post:
I have a collection of letters from a young girl named Jennie, attending the Steubenville
Female Seminary, Steubenville, Ohio in the early 1870's who spends her vacations in
Warsaw, Indiana. I gather from reading these letters that Jennie is the daughter of Marie
J. Park/Parks, who seems to have attended Medical School in New York with my great
grandfather between the Civil War and 1870. I suspect that Jennie's last name may
have been Park or Parks, but I am not sure of this. One letter seeming to be from Marie
says she went 10 miles out of town on a case and nearly got stuck in the mud trying to get
home. In the 1880 Census I can find a Marie J. Furlong, 42, Physician, and wife of
Gilbert Furlong, Marble dealer. I cannot find out anything further except Gilbert seems
to have married Annie J. Hipkins in 1889. My great-grandfather did not marry into this
family and I would like to share these letters with anyone who can prove they are
descendants of Jennie or Marie. Do!
es anyone have any ideas? Nancy Smith
