When he went away he swore he would never write home until he had made his fortune… How a glass’s case (maybe) reunited my long lost Uncle Henry with his family.
Hi, Sarah--I'm catching up a bit, and I was fascinated by Henry's story, or, as he seems to have been known, H. M.'s story. I found several articles relating to his life and death in Newspapers.com (they are doing a free weekend of the highest level of access). I photographed some of these articles for you. Can I just email them to the Substack email address? (Sorry--I'm completely new to Substack.) They are full of details.
I’m curious to see how will you go from this post to: “what does it mean to be an Appalachian Jew?” I’ll be following!
This post is a little more about unraveling family mysteries than it is about Appalachian identity, but of course everything is intertwined.
Send them to me directly at sarahemc2@gmail.com? Thank you!
