Love letter from my grandfather to grandmother
Pen can not write nor tongue
can not speak, the greatness
of my love for you.
I love you so darling that
life without you would not
be worth living.
I dream of thee, I sigh for thee
and Darling if the (?) must
be, I would die for thee.
And Lillie never will I be happy
until we are man and wife
for I know we will be happy
then. Dearest Lillie the tears
from my eyes are falling,
and my hand is trembling
so for the love of you,
I cannot write any more. Your True lover
now & forever.
A.M. Patterson, March 14, 1898
It must have been true love! This photo is of my grandparents and their 11 children...
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
