Would love to know what happened to Corintha Trask, Silas's daughter. Can find nothing more on her. There was a post on World Connect, now deleted, listing her as married to George Wise and buried in Bentley Cemetery, however the recent post of Gladys (Wise) Fuller gives her parents as George Wise and Cornelia Boswell so that doesn't look good. Can find nothing more on Cornelia Boswell either. They were approx the same age though. Maybe she is in your early census?

I have just finished the Erie Railroad Station. It is now at the framer's .I have pulled off the web copies of postcards of Main Street, the Armory, Third Street. But I would love to get an overall picture of Brooklyn Square to paint; some older victorian homes; the Woolworth Building; the Jamestown Hotel. The postcards I downloaded are hard to tell what their original colors were and I think it would be a great idea to have oil of the original Jamestown famous buildings and some homes. Anyone interested or knowing someone who I can link up with , please let me know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Sue Schaffer
