Sad Fate

There have been several posts lately about leaving instructions as to what we want done with our genealogical treasures when we're gone.

While scanning some auctions today I was saddened to read this:

I believe these where the children of Mr and Mrs Arthur Short of Providence RI. Mrs Short was a genealogist turning the 1930/40's

as these where found on the bottom of a box of genealogy records from her estate.
