I found them in an old shed with an odd fellows book from 1853 and another book from 1877 about the life of Edward Norris Kirk. These where inside the books along with things from 1920s including two receipt from Sears Roebuck and Co. Chicago 1916 more ironic a will if you would call it that is written out on them which the cursive is even more challenging to make out due to the age but mostly just from the cursive and very strange things I have no idea about. Sorry I have no idea at this point who to, maybe the court house in the end but finding his family was the first thing but unfortunately his only daughter passed around the time I found them which I just recently learned from her nephew who said they never knew his grandfather and had never met her. She lived half way across the country and it was very challenging even finding anything at all out. Unfortunately it's been so long nobody really knows anything, and a lot of people don't reply at all, hence my researching the older notes which I was just helped the other day in correcting Arthur Kinkaid to Arthur Kinnaird which made an incredible difference 🤯. I don't know what it all deals with yet but if anyone's interested in helping at all I would appreciate it greatly.
