Thanks for the post. The daughter must be my Aunt Olive.
Any idea where Joryville is (was)? I rely alot on my copy of Calument Beginnings but it's at home and I'm at work!

I have a book from the Hobart Historical Society from 1994. It's titled "Growing Up in Hobart". It contains childhood memories about the old days in Hobart by elderly citizens. Isabelle Vargo wrote "I used to walk from Canada (the northern part of town) to Joryville (the southern part of town) for piano lessons from Margery (James) Landen every week." Don't know where the division would have been.

Thanks for finding that. I actually have that book, but I've been too busy to read it through! :D And I'd been wondering where the "Canada" area was, too.
