Additional Comments:
This is information that fell out of a box from the Pioneer Museum, that were 
given to me empty after they had been used to store old pictures. I recorded 
the information for history and returned it to the Pioneer asssociation.
I got the boxes for packing to move and wanted to share it with others.
