Friday family photo—Aunt Martha’s quilts

I have two lovely quilts made by my grandmother's sister Martha Sanders who died in childbirth in 1889. No one in our family knew she had a granddaughter living in Dixon, IL, with many descendants. In 1999 my aunt Muriel noticed her obituary and the names of her parents and realized she was a cousin. She passed it on to me and I entered the names in the family database and corrected my copy of the family genealogy, The Jacob George Family of Adams County, Pennsylvania, (1998). Today my brother plans to meet with two of her daughters and hopefully find a good home for the quilts I've had for 40 years.
