W YOUNG, Cora ****** Hope this helps someone. There is one point that I would like to say. As I typed these names, some of which I have seen in other places, such as cemeteries or church records, it occurred to me that many of these letters may have been written by people who may have been barely literate or may not have been able to read or write English language very well. Especially since the Pratt City area was heavily populated with people who had recently come to this country. The strange accents and different ways of writing may have resulted in some different ways of spelling our ancestors names that mary never have occurred to us today. Perhaps listing these letters will give some new clues to those who haven't been able to find relatives on the census or soundex. jabtillery@home.com
