Hi Brian,
The Harkness family also had a lot of memorabilia about the family, cuttings from newspapers etc. Their estate was left to neice, after family reunion I went to visit with them before I came home, he was very interesting to talk to, came often to Glencoe when we were visiting on holidays.Yes, my aunt talked about "Rocklands" and how severe Elizabeth was as a Grandmother,the photo I have of her does indicate that. I do remember that Glencoe had a great collection of china that would now be considered antique, but I think now disposed of.We also visited Farther's Aunt Maude Martin, who was a spinster, and enjoyed the visits.She had lots of paintings she had done and
each visit let us choose one. There was a sundial in the garden that always interested us and also a beautiful grandfather clock. When I visited the Harkness's they were in possession of the grandfather clock and the sundial.
