The following document was submitted by
Kim Durst. She states the
following:
”This
particular document was printed in the manner (and the same size) of one of
those rememberance cards you get at the funeral home. It was on plain white
paper, and the writing was entirely on the inside right. I tried to
imitate the typing, but was not very successful. The first three lines of
writing were printed in an incredibly beautiful script, but I could not seem to
duplicate it. I did, however, try to duplicate style and font as much as
possible.
What made this interesting to me was that both my grandfather, Charles Tuel,
and his sister, Rhoda Tuel, attended this school. Grandpap would have
been approximately 7 and Aunt Rhoda would have been approximately 9 or
10. I never knew I had an Aunt Rhoda. A note in my grandpap's
handwriting indicates she was born on October 4, 1905, but I have been to both
the Mineral Co. and Grant Co. Courthouses and cannot find a record of her
birth. I have checked the local cemeteries and can only find Aunt Edna
and Aunt Trisa (Treesa) who died during childhood, both of whom are buried in
the Elk Garden Cemetery. Any ideas on how I can find further information
on Rhoda?”
