Dan, thanks so much for your reply. If you get any more info on this Mr. Pritchett, please let me know. I am really running into a brick wall on these people. Thanks again. Sharon

There used to be a Harvey Pritchett back in the 1940's, who lived on a farm a mile or so north of New London, on the left side of the highway. He operated the New London Auction every Sat night for many years, with his wife serving as his clerk. I think he called her "Biddy". She had red hair, obviously dyed, and he constantly teased her about wearing a wig (while he was auctioneering). I don't know if it was true or not. Age-wise, I would estimate they were in their sixties then. The auction was consignments of many small, sundry farm items, many selling for a quarter or so - but there was always a nice crowd there, even if in bad weather. He held it behind a business (in New London) May be some of family you are searching. I don't think they had children. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Surban2246@aol.com> To: <MOPIKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 6:47 PM Subject: Re: [MOPIKE-L] Pritchett > Dan, thanks so much for your reply.
