Olive Risley Seward

[Linda Anderson]

There are other interesting posts on Olive in the Welcome thread in the Books forum. She received one quarter of Seward's $200,00 estate, so her portion would have been $50,000. That would have been worth $961,538.46 in 2014 according to Roger's post.

I visited the Seward House a few years ago and some of the personnel has changed since then. I did notice that the tour guide did not mention Olive.

I agree with Laurie to contact the Seward House. I do think there is value to your book. I wonder who owned the book after Olive.
