<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 84322, member: 59"]Well, I don't know where the "came from a wealthy family in upstate NY" came from, but it is quite unlikely. I tried every conceivable interpretation of the embroidered signature and there was no one, named Alma or otherwise, with that name in upstate NY in the time period in question - Quebec, Ontario, Massachusetts, the UP of Michigan and the deep south, yes, but not NY. Closest I got was a woman whose maiden name was Alma Trappier who gave birth to 2 children between 1907 and 1910 in the Renfrew area of Ontario.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
