Edna's Letters

Letters of memories published in the 1960s through1980s by Edna Drexler:

Edna’s youngest daughter, Ruth Drexler Komis, died in the fall of 2002, I found that she had collected news clippings from the The Jimplicute, Scott City, MO, which were written memories of her mother, Edna Williams Drexler. The photocopies of the clippings were not in good condition so I have retyped these letters to make them available to other family members. Many include memories from the very early 1900s of Scott City (Fornfelt), Missouri. I have added clippings from The Scott County Kicker to some of the letters by searching for information in newspapers.com that related to Edna's letters.
