You can read about Belle Lamunion, 1864-1848, and her amazing box of family memories here. Belle married Henry H Fellows, 1858-1905 in 1879 in Ashland Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. The cast of characters is located here. And, there is an accounting of people about whom I have little information here.
When I took Belle’s Box to a reunion, several people took cards that were connected to their direct ancestors, and I am glad. I did take photos of as many of them as I could before they disappeared. This group of posts are those that I was able to photograph.

Dear Nephew and
Niece hope you are all

answer my letter I sent
you some time ago we

Flora is failing all the
time love to all
Aunt ? wn? Jones
This one is a puzzle. Miranda Jones was Rescum Lemunyon/Lamunion’s wife, and they were Belle’s parents, so I understand that any of her siblings or their wives could be “Aunt ? Jones.”
Flora C. Jones, 1859–1919, was a daughter of Warren Jones, 1819-1877 and Maryette Durfee, 1825-1908. Warren Jones was a sibling of Miranda Jones. If that is the Flora who was “failing fast”, there are many possibilities for the person who penned the letter.
