I have a letter from Ed and Ida McGinness to my mother. The letter
was written in 1960. Ed says he was 80 years old at the time. I have another letter
which refers to Ed McGinness. I would like to know more about Ed and Ida. They knew my
grandfather, Dr. Wallace Boyd Russell, who was an intern at the hospital in Evansville for
a short time -- probably about 1908 -- before he went to the mission field. Ed McGinness
put an article in the local newspaper about my grandfather's death in 1925 according
to this other letter which refers to Ed McGinness. I am pretty sure that the Russells and
McGinnesses were not related to each other -- except perhaps professionally or socially.
I hope someone out there will know about Ed and Ida or be related to them. I am wondering
what connection he had to my grandfather -- was he a doctor at the hospital, was he a
newspaper man, how did he come to know my grandfather? I just thought it would be
interesting to know more about him and his wife.
Thanks,
Priscilla
