    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: DORSEY, THOMPSON, JACKSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACI/866.1070 Message Board Post: Hi, I found some items in an old desk that my Mother inherited. If they are of interest to you or anyone else, I can scan and email them to you. In it was 1. A envelope addressed: Mr. J.B. DORSEY City Inside that envelope is a printed note that is from a H. C. JACKSON of Parkersburg, WV dated February 27, 1895. The note tells of the death of his partner and friend George W. THOMPSON. Mr. Thompson had great interests in the Ohio River Railroad. 2. A receipt # 152340 for a U.S. Postal Money Order for $10 dated May 15,1906 Leadville, CO. 3. A receipt from the Lake County Treasurer's Office, 2/3/1921 to a Duane DORSEY CP. 15884 for an assessment against his property for the year of 1920. The claim was for Extended Hope survey #11809 with the valuation of 210 the total due was $4.31. It was from page 339 schedule 164 School District 1 4. There are 6 pictures of two different men on a piece of wood in a lake being pulled by a boat. (I assume by a boat and if I had to guess by the background maybe Twin Lakes or one of the Lakes at Mount Massive Trout Club) There are no dates or names on the back. The photos are printed on heavy cardboard. There is a studio stamp of SCHEDIN. Two of the pictures are exactly the same.
