    3. Hi Nancy , Long time! I have a few questions and possibly a donation to the society and/or the Saline Library. I found an old letter from Bessie Collins dated 5.13.1942 in a long lost box That referes many facts about my Lawrence and Howard Lines in Saline. It might have some value to the society and Library(In saline) If neered I've allready OCR'd it and can send it as a DOC file.If you want you can include it in FAMILY CAPERS. Questions: Tis letters mentions that (around 1870) the Lawrence's (Albert G. And his second Wife Myra Stewart Lawrence) lived in York township Just off Milan Road. The modern maps I have dont specifically label York . (I believe the milan Road mentioned is actually the Saline-Milan road) It additionball mentions that the land later became Saline Valley Farms, Inc.(around 1942)What specific Modern Crossroads would emcompass The York Township? The letter further mentions that Albert Conducted his Grocery Business in the "Wallace Block" What were the specific demtions of the wallace block(What street was it and From whish street to which street?) You allready know that The Wallace the block is named after are my ancestors. The letter further mentions that later the Lawrences moved to a house NEXT to the Davenport house on E Henry street. It further gives the ownership history of the Davenport House from the 1920's to 1942. I think I mentioned to you before that I now believe that the odd pictures I have that I now can Identify the Davenprot House from about 1930 and the area around the house looked nothing like it did when I came in 2001! I am also sending this to the MIWASHTE-L also in case the following names interest the list. Names refered to in this letter: Lawrence, Worden, Davenport,Josenhans, Mc Bride,Gray,Pope, Curtis and Howard. Places mentioned: Davenport House, Saline Valley Farms, Wallace Block, Ford Garage davenport Bank and Citizen's Bank.
