F. D. Dear Kittie, Received your card this morning. All are well. Daisy was home yesterday. Isabell called to see Mrs. Henry Sunday. She said they work fine and dandy. Nothing up this way but...cherries. ********** July 14, Year(?) To: Miss Kittie Ashe, Sugar Grove, IL From: R. F. D. Dear Kittie, Nice and cool this morning. All are well getting to cut barley today....This picture was taken at Cortland. I think it is good. Nothing else this way... ********** LETTER TRANSCRIPTION November 14, 2006 Dear Ruth Frantz, I thought you would like to know: Ashe Road was named after the Ashe Family who owned a farm on that Road. The Ashe name ends with an "e". I'm sorry we don't have much history to pass on to you. Hopefully, someone in Sugar Grove can remember the family and add more information. I'm glad the photos have a home - the original album was in tatters and there was no protection for the photos if left in that old album I had to put them into protective plastic pockets.

Description An account of the resource TRANSCRIPTION OF LETTER WRITTEN BY PELEG YOUNG BLISS Sugar Grove June 4, 1843 Nathan, I received your letter April and glad to see that you are on the move from Strafford. If you have made up your mind to leave for good, all that I can say is just pack up and move if you can persuade the family. The family to come west, all that I can do for them I will after getting here, and I think if they are just landed here once that they never would think of old Vermont again. As for the matter of living, it is much easier done than in the State of Vermont. I hope that you will pack up and come in one week after you get this. As for the journey west, I think that the best way for you to come is by water. Come to Whitehall by land and there take a line boat for Buffalo. You can make a bargain much cheaper for a whole family than for one. Board yourselves, and you can come [ ] perhaps on line boat that you can so as well to get boarded. But [ ] your passage through to Buffalo and then by steam boat to Chicago you can come cheaper to board yourselves than board on steam boat. Just put up a lot of [ ] at Buffalo. It won’t be a very pleasant piece of [ ] to the women to move, but it won’t last long. Just say to them that it will be a move for life if they will come, that they never will be sorry. Pack into as small compass as you can. Fetch all that you can and not have it too bulky. When in Chicago, I will meet you and convey you on to home that may ever last, I hope. Sampson Brown and son arrived here about two weeks since, and it only cost them from Vermont to Chicago by waters twenty dollars for both. They boarded themselves [ ] including board and all. The sooner that you come, the better. No mistake. If you have anything that you can turn into a pair of [ ], they will be a good article here on a double wagon. Nate, if the family won’t come, you come anyhow. Don’t fail of coming this summer. I hope that you will all come. Write what day that you will be in Chicago, and I will meet you there. Mrs. Bliss and family are all well. Yours, Peleg Young Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lisa https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/0bb5bb55c86796d530c3d6cfafe827e7.jpg 69c92febae898295e6cd12019f5048d3 https://museum.sugargrovehistory.org/files/original/7504e064002ea35f9845d9ce95adf077.jpg 02e6ac48a303e11bc94d4b6906593f43 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource TRANSCRIPTION OF LETTER FROM MILDRED MIGHELL Addressed to Master D. Stanton Mighell, c/o W.C. Mighell, Sugar Grove, Illinois Cassopolis, Michigan July 29, 1909 Dear Folks: Are the oats all cut yet? When are you going to thrash? Is everything all right out at the playhouse? Is Albert home from Aurora yet? I suppose he had a fine time. Is Verne Eby still with you? How is little Margaret? Grandma directs all of Uncle Percy’s mail to the County Clerk’s Office. Grandpa sent me a book of Colorado scenes, too. I am very much about the new books and know that I shall enjoy them very much when I come home. Are they poetry or prose or mixed? I was extremely pleased to get a letter from Stanton and I will write one all to his own little self soon. I have written letters to Grandma M. and Flossie and sent cards to Miss Dalrymple, Maver, Mary and Nellie, besides those to the boys. Flossie has sent me a card and so has Mary. Also Miss Dalrymple, and Grandma M. sent me a letter. I have a new piece. It is a Kulan Sonatina. A Sonatina is an easy Sonata, and a Sonata is the hardest kind of a piece there is. It is the first piece of classical music I have ever had, and Miss Paul says I ought to be proud that I have done so well. She says I am a worker (which is the first time that remark was ever made of me). Miss Paul is on her vacation now so I will probably go to Schoolcraft next week. Sunday, Uncle Herman and I went over to Diamond Lake and took the steamer trip around. It looks much the same as it did three years ago. Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Bessie Carr Hill called. Mrs. Hill wished to be remembered to you and said she wished she could see you. Yesterday was the hottest day of the season; the thermometer at 90 degrees at noon. We had quite a storm this morning.
