went there and found it. I have copied out some of it (in pencil) though there is still a good deal more. Then I began looking to see what else I could find, and found two large volumes of the Hoar family - one issued by an Irish baronet (Sir Edward Hoare), early in 1880- and the other by George Frisbee Hoare in (if I remember rightly) the 1890’s. Sir Edward Hoare has only a brief account of the American branch, for the information of which he is indebted, as he says, to “my good friend George Frisbee Hoare.” George Frisbee seems to have bestirred himself considerably in family matters; and it is well that he did, for he has left quite a record. Some of it is very interesting. The Ferris record in our line stops with great-great-grandfather Ferris (grandpa’s grandfather) and it is only because we know who he was that we can fill it out from there. In another generation or two the information might be lost, which shows the importance of keeping it filled in. Incidently [sic], the record leaves a blank for the place and date of his death, but we know it was Ithaca. Could you go to the cemetery again some time and get the date of his death and also that of his wife and the date of grandpa’s mother’s death; then we could add it to the record?

In this letter of April 1, 1937, Margaret writes her mother Laura Kephart from the Suffolk Sanatorium where she works, letting her know that her sister Cornelia has forwarded letters from the family. Margaret has rented a place in New York and asks Laura to come visit some weekend. She fills her in on genealogy information she has found on the Hoar family and asks for some missing information that she can then fill in and would like input on how to make copies of it to share with the family. She also looked up the Ferris, Fisk, Kephart, and Sowers families.
