    3. Hello Again, I must say this week has been a good week for hunting in the local stores. While in Hazel in Calloway County yesterday Lisa and i found a very old "Daguerreotype" photo. Under the glass image was a note written in very old script it said: "Mrs. Vann Allbritton New Providence, Calloway County, KY" Dag type photos date as early as the 1840's and few are named. Also found was two hands full of old loose papers that belonged to W.H. Burgess of Carlisle County. There are deeds,tax records,dog tax receipts, mortgages, and two old photos dated 1935 of his grandkids. So far the oldest pieces i've seen is 1893 up to 1930's. If anyone is interested in a scan of the Dag let me know, and if there are any of W.H. Burgess's Family here that would like these papers back give me a holler :) Don Howell __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
