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. 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. There were duplicate photos so when I renumbered the photos to titles I could use, I deleted the dupes. Missing numbers do not mean missing items!

We are quite well at present.
Remember us to all.

Eliza J. Murray, 1876-1960, and Ina Bell “Belle” Murray1878-1964, were two daughters of Mary Ann Lamunion Murray, 1850-1899, and her husband John Henry Murray, ca 1847-1944. Mary Ann was Belle’s sister. As with many of these cards and letters, I am touched to see how families kept in touch before phone calls, and of course, way before the internet. Imagine writing as the only way to convey messages and important family information. Certainly we live in a different time.
