  • Summary

  • My wife Ruth found that in 1930 Rose had two borders living in her home ⁠— one named Andrew and another named William. Could it be the “Will” from the letter?

    It seems like an easy thing to figure out but we needed to look beyond the census records, so we took on the help of a Dayton historian to learn more.

    It turns out something happened a month after Rose received Will’s letter.

    Learn more and see pictures of some ads from Jenkin’s Drug Store, and what the corner of Fifth & Ludlow looked like in the 1920s:
