Welcome

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks again for sharing, Linda! It seems to me Olive would have inherited the same portion anyway, as wife as well as as adopted daughter?!

What happened to the house after Seward's death? Did all the Seward children live there, or did one take it over? I just know it's now a museum (and their website doesn't work on my phone), and Wiki states "it was occupied by blood relatives until 1951".

Other than Abraham Lincoln Seward didn't seem having invested in bonds, just in real estate.

Laurie, I agree on "making her an executrix had to hurt the boys also"! BTW - thanks for your feedback on the book - can't wait now to receive and read my copy!

Is it me, or does she look a bit like Clara Harris?

This comes a bit late, but thanks for the Ford's link, Gene! Very pleasing to read that Ford's appreciated the correction and credited Roger and Dave. Also I agree - the ladies resemble each other. I have never seen this photo of Clara Harris, nor any that shows her entire face in frontal view, only in profile. I wouldn't have recognized her!
