History of the Love Letters


These love letters were kept by my great-great-grandmother Nancy Callaway-Raymond in an old shoe box. They were found with a few photographs. I have transcribed the letters here and hope to add links to some of the other named people throughout the letters in the community of Henderson County and Union County Kentucky. The letters talk of their train travels to see each other (they lived in neighboring counties), farming, shopping, church/Sunday School, horses, general life at that time and a budding romance as they prepare for marriage.
