That's interesting to have the teacher represented as a student and then instructor in the yearbooks, Tenbrook. I've had luck locating family members from simple Facebook and Google searches, perhaps you could find surviving family who would want the books. I had planned on returning the six suitcases, books and various other items to the Stewart family I'm researching but they appear to have died out. This particular branch, anyway. Possible relatives in Colorado would likely have no memory or know who these Canadian relatives were.
Thank you for the comments at the blog, Todd. I appreciate the identification of the praying hands ornament.
I learned a lot about research and method from my love as a Blues and folk music fan. I've had the pleasure of interviewing many of the Elders of the community the family settled in in the late 1800s. I've had access to unpublished family memoirs and histories. Some of the info I've gathered was remembered by the children of deceased parents who themselves remembered stories from their parents and grandparents. I've been able to grab a few anecdotes that would soon be lost to time. I researched fairly obsessively from 2016-2019 and I've discovered much more about the family. I'm possibly working towards a book but we'll see. As much as I've posted and published at the blog there is much more to write about and share so I should be at it for many years to come.
