So I spent a lot of time at Jack and Jane's waiting for the Best Buy boys to deliver a new TV. I found a small box in a larger box and photographed the contents while discussing them with Jane. Here they are.
Somebody thought this poem was worth keeping in the box. Here's a lot of information on Wilbur D. Nesbit, the author.
Jane thinks this is a tintype of one of her uncles, uncle Bill?
Jane thinks that this is a tintype of one of her grandfathers.
Jane says that Mrs. Samuel L. McClelland is a relative, but I couldn't say how.
Jane says she had relatives in Sacramento, CA. Perhaps the first address is theirs.
Below is the actual box. Imperial Granum was a well-known "medical food." This one is dated 1877. I also took a picture of the inside of the box with the various items left in it after I took out the photos, poem and obit. I haven't been able to find anything that looks just like this box on the web.
