One hundred years ago, my great-grandfather Martain Haze Duke owned and operated a grocery store in Chickasha, OK. I have several of the account books for his store. I found the following loose note in one of them. The ink is faded in places, but still legible: "Mr duke i want 25 cts Worth of arsh Potatoes and a bar of barks Soap just send a part of the Potatoes and the Soap for the Boy Cant Carry them all and i Will Send for the rest Lee" Edit:I decided to scan and load several pages from the ledger which covers the end of 1907, 1908, and the start of 1909. I found only a Lee surname. To enlarge, click picture, then select 'all sizes.' |
