Kathy, My great grat grandmother, Elizabeth Beltzhoover Cox Norris, helped found the Tenn. Orphans' Home. She traveled to PA,to Calif, probably Miss too, collecting money from her rich Beltzhoover relatives. Her contribution was written about in the book, "Picturesque Clarksville". I have an original application for admission to the orphanage which was kept in the family Bible. There is a large oil portrait of her in the family which we believe was painted in Calif. and it might have hung in the orphanage. Just a bit of trivia to add to the list. Deanna O.

Thanks Deanna. I just back in town from vacation and this was an interesting bit of info to put in my files!
