'This is a picture of my grandmother, Teresa Fegan Kelly. She and her sister were members of the Foresters. On the mortuary benefit of her sister, I learned that she had seven sisters and three brothers. We had only known about two of her sisters, so that was important information for us to learn. Since then I have been able to locate baptism records for three of her siblings, and a marriage record for one of her siblings. It meant a lot that the Foresters had saved these records because it was the only way I would have learned about my grandmother’s siblings. Nobody here in my family knew about them and there were no other records that would say this. This is the only picture of my grandmother.'
