Scope & Content |
A handwritten letter dated August 15, 1910 addressed to Mrs. O. M. Algers 1300 W. Van Trees, Washington, Indiana from an anonymous writer. The writer claims that Mrs. Algers' husband, Ora M. Algers, was frequently seeing and taking buggy rides with Mary Welch of Sandhill living at 805 W. Jefferson St. in Washington. In the 1912 Washington City Directory, Ora M. Algers was then married to Mary and living at 805 W. Jefferson Street. Catherine Algers, presumably the former wife of Mr. Welch to whom the anonymous letter was written, continued to reside at 1300 W. Van Trees. This letter was part of a collection kept by Miss Lizzie Algers, presumably the daughter of Ora and Catherine Algers, at the Washington National Bank who resided at 1300 W. Van Trees in 1912. |
