Burns Garvin as having lived in Richford, VT. Since the inscription says "Remember me as one of the Class of R.H.S. '13" I think this fits if it refers to a Richford High School. Which must mean the book owner had connection to Richford, VT?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470217109659177851.post-49554232514340500832014-02-18T05:54:55.886-08:002014-02-18T05:54:55.886-08:00Hi Pam!
My guess on the middle name is "Burn...Hi Pam!<br /><br />My guess on the middle name is "Burns" W. Burns Garvin. Looking at identifieable letters n other known words, the second letter in the middle name is NOT an "e" because he does not make a single closed loop lower case "e." Also, looking at his "m" in "me" and the ending "n" in his last name, I think his "m" and "n" are so thin as to llok like "u"s rather tahn nicely rounded humps in "m" and "n." ALSO, I did a Google search on the name "W. Burns Gravin" and got this hit, which looks very promising http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GARVIN/2004-01/1073571278. Let me know waht you think.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.com
