These are a few of the more interesting items I've bought on Ebay. Somehow, though purchased at different times, they're all from the Worden line on my father's side. Below is Inez Worden (1908-2001) holding her baby sister Gladys (1914-1937), they were children of Arthur Worden and Edna Warner of Shortsville, NY. Inez never married and Gladys never got the chance. She died at age 22 almost two weeks after an operation for appendicitis.
The next item is a post card written by Flora Worden Post of Manchester, NY to Frank Mull who was hospitalized at St. Mary's in Rochester, NY. Flora was the half sister of the girl's father Arthur Worden. She was a Sunday school teacher at the local Methodist church. On the front is written,
June-14-08 Children's Day Decorations Of Mrs. Post's Class, Manchester M.E. Church.
April 30 -10
Dear Friend Frank, Will has just come home this morning, all tired out, is lying down, he stayed with Gilbert last night, am so glad he went up to see you - he is so glad he went for he said you were so pleased to see him. I have been sick for two weeks, when you get able you must come down and stay awhile with us - it is beautiful down here now. I have sat on the porch most all morning and enjoyed nature for I am not able to work. Mrs. W.H. Post Manchester N. York
Last is a fuel ration card from 1945 issued to Arthur Worden
And the hunt goes on...
