These are family letters to and from members of the Edwin Maxwell and Huldah (Beaty) Taylor family of Jamestown / Concordia, Cloud, KS.
I made photocopies of the originals about 1972 - 40 years ago. My how times flies. The originals were in the hands of the McBride branch of the Taylor family around Cloud County at that time.
I am trying to distribute as much family information as I can to whoever and wherever I can before my time is past.
