Bob Wilkinson’s Birth Announcement
November 29, 1938Bob Wilkinson’s (my father) birth announcement. I believe that the artwork was done by Frank Wilkinson (my grandfather).
Notice that it doesn’t even mention my grandmother by name…the parents are just listed as “Mr. and Mrs. Francis E Wilkinson”
Bob Wilkinson’s Birth Certificate from Dubois Hospital in DuBois, PA.
Bob Wilinson’s (my father) Baptism Certificate from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in DuBois, PA
Jonanna Stouffer Wilkinson’s Red Cross Certification for “Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick” from March 1920. She would have been 18 years old.
Some of you may be asking…why would someone keep something like this? And I would say, that is a good question.
Another item for the “why would anyone save this” file.
