Letter from Ninevah Gosnell to her sister, Lucretia "Crecy" Gosnell Plumley, Feb 20, 1898
- Title
- Letter from Ninevah Gosnell to her sister, Lucretia "Crecy" Gosnell Plumley, Feb 20, 1898
- Accession Number
- 2007.38.27
- Description
- At the time of this letter, Ninevah is about 82 years old and her sister Crecy is about 63 years old. It appears that they don't write often. While Ninevah makes a bit of small talk, it is clear that she is writing to ask if Crecy knows the location or any news about "Sheerd." This is almost certainly their brother Sherod Gosnell, who went by "Sherd." He is shown in various 1800's censuses as living in Glassy Mountain; he fought in the Civil War, then is shown back at Glassy Mountain in 1880. The 1890 census does not exist, having been burned in a fire. Sherd died in Tryon, NC, in 1900.
