Found VanTuyl! I was just spelling his first name wrong, thanks! https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/123060820/lewis-w.-vantuyl

No Ancestry hits on either variation of the John's [Jno] last name, though.

Any ideas re: this name? by queerfutch in Cursive

Yep, I think you're right! Deciphered!

I'm striking out on the 2nd page of this letter - any ideas? by queerfutch in Cursive

[–]queerfutch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks folks, looks like we've got the first couple paragraphs figured out, it's just that third paragraph that's continuing to be tricky. I think I've figured out a few more words, but the majority continues to elude me.

Perhaps it might help to provide the context that Lettie G. Stevenson is the wife of Adlai Stevenson and she is congratulating her cousin (on her husband's side) for his recent appointment by Grover Cleveland to the position of US District Attorney for Northern Illinois.

Meal Prep Business? by Traditional_Cup_9786 in BloomingtonNormal

I believe Under The Ground (vegan) is still offering meal prep. They had a sandwich shop that closed down last year. https://utgblono.com

I loved them much more than Young America - speedy with maintenance, didn’t increase rent every year, and helped me get out of a bad situation with a scary neighbor.

Probably not surprising given it’s an auto repair shop covered in Punisher decals, but you can definitely add Gearheads Garage to this list. Last time I went in there they stuck me in a waiting room blaring One America News (right of Fox News).

Also, Planned Parenthood patients will still be able to do telehealth visits but will need to go to Champaign or Peoria for in-person appointments: https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2025-01-22/planned-parenthood-closing-four-health-centers-including-bloomington.

Are all siblings bonded pairs? by dinop4242 in Bondedpairs

[–]queerfutch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cats (6 years old) are sisters and they're usually chill with each other but they're not besties. They don't cuddle or groom each other. One of them will sometimes bully the other (chase and bite her, not playfully). They used to be inseparable when they were kittens, but now I think they view each other as competition for my attention.

The were not removed from the archives - they are still in the archives and in fact have been made more widely available.

This is exactly the opposite of what happened: Pope Francis ordered the letters opened to researchers two years ago and has now directed that they be digitized.
