Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Anita]

Laurie,
Thanks for sharing! What wonderful family memories and your personal experiences at the Galt jewelry store are fascinating. Where is that ledger now? Like you, I would have had difficulty restraining the urge to run off with it. "The store closed over a decade (or two) ago, and I sure hope that that ledger and other prized papers went to proper places." Me too.

Here's an article with some interesting info about Galt & Bro Inc. history, Lincoln connection and closure. It was founded in 1802!!

And another with reference to Mary Lincoln's purchases.
