Organizing Family Treasures

NW Okie has been busy organizing some of her great-grandmother's & grandmother's treasures this week.

We have been sorting the penny postcards, photographs into their own little sterlite containers. In so doing, NW Okie found some other treasures, such as grandma's namecards in a brown, leather holder which had "Jamestown, VA" inscribed on the outside. Do you remember those little namecards that our ancestors used as their calling cards? Most of the names on these namecards we recognized as surnames related to our Warwick, Gwin and Hull ancestors that settled around West Virginia/Virginia area. Here are the links for viewing our grandmother's early day namecards - Grandma's namecards - #1 - Grandma's namecards - #2 - Grandma's namecards - #3 - Grandma's namecards - #4

Another treasure that we found amongst Grandma's treasures was a "1954 Alva (Oklahoma) Southwestern Bell Phone Directory." We haven't gotten it scanned completely... yet! We think we also have a 1938 Alva Phone Directy, also! We will be working on it in the future, though.
