Maybe I have one...! I purchased an old postcard several years ago that shows a fair number of people "playing" on the ice at Niagra Falls. It indicated that the year was 1896, I think, or something quite close. My grandparents were married in Corfu on 1 January 1896, and then left for Plano, Kendall County, IL, where they lived the rest of their lives. I wonder if they saw the river frozen and perhaps even walked upon it as they made their way west. Just so I don't miss an opportunity: Grandma was Bessie Mae Elizabeth PALMER, daughter of Cyrus Orlando PALMER and Sarah Marie PALMER PALMER. (He was the son of Joel and Adeline; she was the daughter of Levi...no known relationship as yet. Grandpa was the son of Royal Orlando LINCOLN and Rebecca COOK (she was from NJ and IL). His parents were John LINCOLN and Lydia GIFFORD LINCOLN of the Bethany area. His grandparents were Sylvester LINCOLN and Desire BRIGGS LINCOLN who arrived in 1804 and opened an inn. Thanks for the note about the postcard. I'll have to get it out and see if it might be a Tallman creation. Kristy
