Thanks for the offer. Are there any Blundons? Thanks Sandy Suzy Atwood wrote: > Fleeton celebrated its' 100th birthday this year, although there were people > living there before that.

Hi, Both books are just reminiscences, so they are not complete, and there are no indexes. I have been through both, and only found reference to Blundon-Hinton store in Reedville. One reference mentions a canning factory behind it in 1902-03. It goes on to speak of people who worked at Blundon -Hinton and say: "Measurements were taken and sent to Baltimore for men's tailor-made clothes. A good line of shoes was carried. Fine laundry, such as men's white collars and shirts were sent to Chinese laundries in Baltimore. (The laundry and tailor-made clothes were attended to by most of the other local stores.)" I am not sure if this is a description of Blundon-Hinton or not. It is all I could find. Suzy Atwood

Hi Sandy, I was just looking at my Fleeton book and there is a picture on the back cover of the fishboat William Blundon. This was the boat captained by the author's father. I just got a scanner and do not know how to use it yet. When I figure it out, would you like a copy? Suzy Atwood

Suzy Atwood If you have the time, please add me to that list Suzy. That would be a fine addition to my other pictures. Thanks, Henry.

Suzy, Thank you so much for your earlier reply with information on the Blundons. I apologize for not responding earlier. And, yes, I would love to have a copy of the picture you mentioned. I know what you mean about the scanner. I have one, but have not yet hooked it up.
