Hi, Joyce, Sue Watkins here in Penn Yan.
Three things, related:
1. I came upon this link in your website --photos of Antrim, Pa., submitted
by a descendent of one William Estep of that village. William is in several
of these photos.
http://www.joycetice.com/articles/antrimph.htm
My great-grandfather Dr. Asbury Harpending Baker was the town physician
in Antrim from 1886 - 1894, and as he recounts in his memoir, published
as "Memories," he and William Estep were great friends; in "Memories" Asbury
recounts at length a hunting adventure tale with William Estep and some
other friends from the Antrim area. Among the many photos and other paper
ephemera I have is a postcard, attached here, sent to Asbury, as he notes
on the back, by William Estep. The date Asbury wrote on it is June 6, 1917.
As you know it was a fad or custom in those years to create postcards from
personal photos, so I have assumed that one of the fellows pictured among
their hanging deer has to be William Estep himself. I wonder if William's
descendent --is his name John? --could identify which one is his ancestor?
And I wonder if John Estep has any photos that might include my great-grandfather,
or the house Dr. Baker and his wife occupied while they were in Antrim,
or ??? Incidentally the Bakers joined the Episcopal church while they were
there, so I was pleased to see the photo of the women standing in front
of the church door.
2. Also among my papers, I have Dr. Baker's obstetrical records from
the years he was in Antrim. This is in the form of a somewhat fragile hardcover
account book, so I am not sure if it can be scanned, but it is a wonderful
historical document listing births by date, name, ethnicity of the mother,
along with medical details.
3. In that vein --I've finally figured out how to scan "Memories." I
bought a decent scanner and the process will put the book in a PDF file.
Is this an acceptable format for the Tri-Counties site? I thought that
once I had it safely in that format I would make a copy with photos inserted
in it. But for now I wanted to tell you that I will scan this memoir and
send it to you as I promised I would too long ago. Would you rather I mailed
a CD copy to you or would an email attachment be all right?
