Patti and Larry:

I have sent you both an invitation to view online the photos I made at 
Harve Wilson's house the first part of September.  I have put brief 
captions on them.

The Erwins have painstakingly rehabbed Harve's house for the last 30 
years, living in it the whole time:  enduring one winter with no heat at 
all, having the foundation on one corner of the house repaired, walking 
the floor joists to get to the bathroom when the floors were taken up 
for restoration.  It has been and still is a labor of love, I think.  
Harve and the descendants who followed him would be pleased.  It was 
very sobering to listen to Nancy Erwin tell of my grandmother's visit 
there and the memories that it triggered for her.  The Erwins are going 
to jump through the hoops necessary to get the site approved for the 
National Register of Historic Places.  It looks very beautiful in its 
current incarnation.  Nancy's artistic, yet informed, sense of what 
"fits" the house is a saving grace for it.  It could very well have 
either been bulldozed down and a McMansion erected on the site, or it 
could have been given a hatchet job and really messed up.

The bedstead shown in the pictures had been in my parents' basement up 
on cinder blocks for at least ten years.  Prior to that I think it had 
been at my grandmother's house.  I don't know how it came to be hers.  
My siblings and I were really having a hard time trying to decide what 
to do with it. . .as none of us had a place for it.  But the Banner 
article (see next paragraph) was an inspiration.  I called Nancy and 
told her that we would be glad to give it to them if she had a place for 
it in the house.  She very quickly said that she would take it. . .and 
invited us to come see the house.  They are very gracious people. . .had 
cookies and coffee waiting for us that morning.  Bob is really into 
local history (talks a lot!).   Perfect ending to the bed's story, I 
think.  Nancy is going to have Bob move his office out of the little 
room upstairs, and she will set up a bedroom using the bed.  The little 
bed will have found its way back home.

I have a copy of the Cleveland Daily Banner article re: the house that 
my Uncle Bob had told me about in passing.  (I have sent a hard copy to 
Larry already.)  There are inaccuracies in the write up, but it is 
basically OK.  I will mail you one, Patti.  I do not have a scanner 
right now.

I also found a printout of an email that Larry copied  to my AOL address 
on April 3, 1997:  He had found Hugh P. Wilson on the 1880 census, going 
through the census page by page.  Hugh's  mother was said to be born in 
Tennessee, his father born in Ireland.   Larry said  "This seems to 
confirm the story handed down in the Alexander Harvey Wilson family."    
Did anything else ever come of this, Larry?   Did any other siblings of 
Hugh's live to be counted in 1880?

All for now.  Sandy Pierce
