I decided to see what I could find online and ran across your blog entry from 2013 with Minnie's remembrances of living in White Salmon, which is near Trout Lake. I sent it to my mom, and she was beside herself with joy. She would very much like to make contact with you to see if she can find more information about Minnie and her sister Henrietta, who was my mom's grandmother. (Henrietta died at the age of 29 following a fall from a horse.) My mother is not particularly computer savvy so I am asking on her behalf. If you are willing to correspond with her via email, can you please send me your email address? I will then pass it on to her. That would make her very happy and would be interesting for the rest of our branch of the family. You can email me at nolacross@gmail.com.<br /><br />Your cousin, Nola Cross<br />Brush Prairie, WashingtonNola Cross ~ "Small Town...Big Love."https://www.blogger.com/profile/05027483974788391309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142224267718623922.post-25012582289835343212019-04-22T22:35:08.986-05:002019-04-22T22:35:08.986-05:00Goodness.

While we were given white gloves, no one watched us closely so I suspect people just took what they wanted. They will make reproductions for you at a minimal cost so the loss is so unfortunate, such a rare and massive collection.

But I felt so guilty that we didn’t stay long. I didn’t know it had a swimming pool or library. I learned to swim before we moved there. <br />But I do know what happened to some of those windows in the original building, when they got replaced. I can look out of them at the lake.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978610974807133237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142224267718623922.post-24499161537345480042018-07-13T22:25:15.656-05:002018-07-13T22:25:15.656-05:00It seems unlikely that the photo is of Fredrick Sr...It seems unlikely that the photo is of Fredrick Sr. and Mary Goldman.
