General note
Caption on front: Cousin Abbie Brown - whose mother, Miss Fanny Fitch, was a sister of my Grandmother Abbie Fitch Searcy. She died in Grand Rapids, Mich. in 1940 and in her will left me several hundred dollars. She was an invalid all her life and I remember her as a visitor in our home on Hosp. lawn, in her rolling chair.
