Olin, I have two or three of the love letters that your great uncle wrote to my grandmother, Hattie Forbes Bryan around 1903, including a proposal.i have letters from about three suitors prior to those from my grandfather Thomas Jefferson Dean, who she married in 1910. What do you know about C.E. Russ? My grandmother was living in Dle Co, AL, and then back and forth between Cipley, Millville, and Daleville at the time your great uncle was "courting" her.
