Below submission was to MAHONEY-L@rootsweb.com by Daililli@aol.com early in March Many thanks Daililli@aol.com for these thoughts about our families before us by G.M. TREVELYAN Bluchp56@aol.com "Once, on this earth, on this familiar spot of ground, walked other men and women, as actual as we are today, thinking their own thoughts, swayed by their own passions, but now all are gone, one generation vanishing after another, gone as utterly as we ourselves shall shortly be gone like ghosts at cockcrow." -~ G. M. Trevelyan
