Joan wrote me Mary's death on the 21st.  I'm very sad to hear this.  We were last together at my mother's memorial service.  Clara was planning to visit her this summer, but I haven't heard a report of her trip yet.

I have this picture in my Ancestry.com family tree.  I'm sure I have others as I just inherited my mother's old photo albums.  I'll look for others.

I sent you a PM.

About the Muir farm.  John Ennis settled at the west end of what is now known as Ennis Lake.  It is now part of the John Muir - Ennis Lake County Park.  There is quite a lot of information about the lake [actually a smallish pond] and some nice pictures on the web.  The actual spot where the Muir cabin had stood wound up with Howard McGuinn and I think it was the McGuinns and the descendants of Sam Ennis who sold the land to the county to establish the park.  I think this caused some friction with some of Hugh's descendants.

My grandfather's comment on the Muirs was, "a bunch of shiftless Scots who ruined the land and then moved on."
