This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MORISON, VALENTINE, WILLIAMS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AFB.2ACE/1788 Message Board Post: We recently did some work on our house. When we removed the old walls in the living room, we found a small photograph of a woman encased in the framing of the house. Newspapers in the same wall date the photo to 1931. The 1930 census shows a VALENTINE family living in our house, with a wife Rose age 35. A little research revealed Rose to be Rose MORISON (b: 1894, d: 1982). Her parents were Charles H MORISON (b: c. 1870) and Alice WILLIAMS? (not sure about the maiden name) (b: c. 1869) of Pearl Street in Medford. She married Malcom VALENTINE (b: 1892, d: 1972). They had at least two children -- Malcom and Robert VALENTINE. The VALENTINE family lived in this house from some time between 1920 and 1930 until 1976, when Rose sold the house to the man who lived here before us. (It's amazing what 20 minutes of sleuthing will turn up.) Although it is small (like a big stamp) and damaged (a corner is missing), the photo is in otherwise good condition. We would love to return it to a more appropriate person. If you may be such a person, let me know and I'll send you a scanned image to verify the identification (and the photo if you end up wanting it). Of course, this photo may be someone else entirely, but this was my best guess. Kathy Mumma
