The Beautiful Mrs. Webster
The beautiful Mrs. Ellen Webster is seen in this photo probably taken in 1893, if that is, indeed, her wedding dress. After months of researching and writing, I have finally turned over a Master Copy of the CD that contains information about Mrs. Webster and all of her activities. She had a keen mind that was active right up until the time of her “unexpected death” at 82.
The CD is in pdf format and can be viewed using any computer that has downloaded Adobe Reader, a free software program. There is a lot to like about this format, including easy scrolling through the pages.
I am just thrilled that we decided to give this piece of history to the New Hampshire Historical Society so that they can replicate the CD and sell it in their museum store to raise funds that will stay with them. It feels good to present this gift.
More information about the project is located on the index page of our website, along with ordering details.
Do yourself a favor and send for this unique and wonderful product.
Thanks to my friends who have been passing out brochures at meetings and promoting the project verbally. All help is needed and appreciated.
