RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 05-03-2014
Dare I guess Dr. Squibb? The book had no picture of him, and I didn't go searching.
Thanks for the compliment about the article. Each essay in that book is very well-written and easy to relate.
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 05-03-2014
Logical guess Laurie but it's not him. Here are photos of Dr. Squibb.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 05-04-2014
George D. Rosengarten?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 05-04-2014
Good try Roger, but you'll need to guess again.
Hint- He's related to a Civil War general.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 05-05-2014
Can you us give a hint - is the relationship that of a brother? son? father? etc.
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 05-05-2014
Okay Roger. Here's your hint.
He's the father of a very famous Civil War general.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 05-05-2014
Jesse Root Grant?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 05-05-2014
Yes Eva, it is Jesse Root Grant, father of Ulysses S. Grant. Your prize, a tour of Jesse's tannery in Port Pleasant, Ohio.
Jesse was quite a character. "When Ulysses went on to the White House, Jesse visited often. Newspaper reporters found him eager to comment on the business of the day. Jesse had always loved politics. In his younger days, he had written for an abolitionist newspaper and even served a term as mayor of Georgetown. But his son Ulysses did not always feel so happy about his father's comments, which probably continued until he died in 1873, at the age of 79."

Who is this gentleman?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 05-29-2014
William Mumler?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 05-29-2014
I'm sorry, it's not William Mumler, but you are on a very good track! He was indeed one of Mary's "special friends".
RE: Who is this person? - tblunk - 05-29-2014
How about Henry Wikoff?
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 05-29-2014
A young Benjamin French?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 05-29-2014
