Homestead Photo 5 Charles W. ALLUM

  General Notes:

Photo: This piece of wood from the former house of Charles W. Allum (1796-1868) in Richhill Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, was a gift to DeeAnna Allum Granston from Shirley Allum Hudlicky in 1965. It is eleven and one-half inches in length and still bears the (now brittle) white paint used on the dwelling.

Shirley Allum Hudlicky, October 14, 1965 letter to DeeAnna:

"Charles Monroe Swart told me who had gotten the lumber when the house was torn down. I asked him if he could get a small board from it."



DeeAnna Allum Granston, August 17, 1968 letter to Ruth Anna Martin Hicks:

"On June 30 [1968], Shirley Allum Hudlicky, my distant Allum cousin and genealogy partner, visited me with her ten-year-old daughter. She brought copies of several more data pages regarding Allum descendants, plus a piece of wood from the house of my 4th great grandfather, Charles Allum, 1796-1868. The house had been built in the early 1800s and torn down in the 1960s."
