My dear Aunt Lib
By Grandma's request I will try and write
you a short letter to express our heart felt sympathy for you in your
sad bereavement of your daughter Hattie; although not knowing her I have
heard Grandma speak of her sweet disposition and how she would be missed
by you all. I feel almost like I had known her and certainly feel like
extending my sympathy to you; I can while extending sympathy commend you
to that Father in Heaven who doeth all things well; and O how much
better it is when we can be assured that our Loved ones are safe in
heaven where we can some day meet them; it is far better so; when we can
fully realize that all the sorrows and temptations of this life are
forever over for thee loved ones gone before; Dear aunt I was quite a
little girl when you were back here yet I remember you; I have grown up
now and I can still remember when you pieced a quilt while here and I
used to count your squares and look at them every night. We are all well
and blessed with plenty this winter and hope you may be enjoying the
same blessings. We are attending an Evangelistic Meeting here now; The
Evangelist is a Lady and she is very earnest; Well I must bring my
letter to a close; requesting you if you think this is worthy of an
answer. Please favor us with a few lines; We would be so glad to hear
from you all; Again extending our heartfelt sympathy; I remain Your
Loving Niece
Lilly Atherton
in behalf of Your Sister Louisa

We can thank Hallie Hutton Martin for these wonderful photos. Many are from the 1860s. They were in an album that belonged to her great-grandfather Charles David Hutton. The paper that was holding the pictures in place got brittle and the pictures fell out and didn't get put back in the right places. Someone had written the names on the album under some of the pictures, but there no way to make sure where each of the pictures belonged. Can you help identify any of these people? Many of the unknown pictures are likely Huttons, but some may be friends or relatives with different surnames. See more photos under Calahan, Newman, Lapham & Ennis
