Re: Miss Nellie Higgins; unfortunately all the information I have for her is the date the article was in the paper in Decatur, Illinois (Aug 1927), her name as given (Miss Nellie Higgins) and the place she was living (Brooklyn, NY). Can you tell me more about the source of your information about Miss Nellie Higgins? Does it give anymore information? Since I have so little information, I can't afford to rule out any information from any source. You can email me directly at [email protected] and thanks. ---- [email protected] wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. Re: Miss NELLIE HIGGINS, Brooklyn, NY, 1927 > ([email protected]) > 2.
