Kathleen, you are an amazing person. My husband is a descendant of the Davis family in Minnesota. I couldn't find too much information on Elizabeth Dick and certainly didn't have a photo of her...no one did except you. You made my day. Thank you so much, Kathleen, for finding her photo and then researching her much better than I did. I really appreciate you.

Sharon - I am so glad you found this page. In my work, I know what I do will not help thousands of people, in fact for each photo I work on, there may be only 1 or 2 people "out there" to whom the work will be meaningful. I am glad it was meaningful for you!
