Rose Hoover has very
kindly donated a letter dated 13 March 1916 from the Greer family of
159, Donegall Road, Belfast to their niece Elizabeth Dunlap Fadzen who
was living at 3809 Foster Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
The letter tells of Mary Greer's loss of her son Arthur in WWI.
Rose has asked that if
anyone has any input on the translation to please get in touch.
Elizabeth is the daughter of Sam Dunlap and
Anne Hutchinson. Sam emigrated to America around 1893, following the
advice of family members already
in America.
A
WORD Doc and
PDF of the
original letter are available.
In this next letter dated 25 May 1937, Mary
Greer reports that she has now lost her second son, Samuel, due to
illness.
Again a
WORD Doc and a
PDF of the original letter are
included.
The third son, Herbie, wrote several
letters to Lizzie during WW2 and talks about the bombs etc.
