Treasured Memories

My dear friend Elise Giammarco Carlson shared some of these photos with me from the Burrillvilel Historical & Preservation Society. Although the two older funeral plates are not belonging to the Kenyon or Butterworth family, they belonged to Pam Kenyon-Cardin's family on her mother's side, which was also a Pioneer family from Burrillville. The other is an Odd Fellows piece that is on display at the Historical Society in town, that once belonged to Earl Kenyon.

The bottom photo came from Pam herself, with a funny message to me via email. She had the best sense of humor. She could not stand what was happening to her grandparent's house, or the "circus" as she put it regarding it being allegedly haunted. She had to poke fun at it in her own way with this gem! I sure do miss her.

"I hope you have as warped sense of humor as I do. These three did come from the house. I thought maybe you could use a laugh. Those "evil lawn demons" used to sit out near what was really a spring pond (a little puddle that appeared only in the spring) at my grandfather’s house. I took them back to my house along with two rocks that are all crystals like the inside of a geode."  - Pam (3/4/2023)  :-)
