Treasure Box from the icehouse

I found this old, battered cardboard box when cleaning out the icehouse in August of 2009. There are many treasures inside.

This is the hair cut from Leona Walsh's head when she became a nun.

This is the hair cut from Emily Walsh's head when she became a nun.

This is a letter to Frances Wolfarth, the mother of Emily and Leona before she was married. This letter is dated Thursday, May 8, 1919. Helen Carrier is writing and it contains information about working at Ordnance Plant Three (in Detroit) -- she said, "we make the recoil mechanisms for the 155 mm Fillonx rifles and Horitzers."







This is another letter to Frances Wolfarth.
