Lois, that would be nice.  How do we go about doing that?  Where does he live?

I need to make a correction on the dates of the fabrics in the quilts mentioned above.  The correct dates are 1880-1900 in one of the quilts.  The other quilts are in the 1920's to late 1930's range.

I have been researching Isabell(a) Spowart Burt McArthur of New Era, Oregon.  My grandmother passed down some quilts made by Isabell and a very large portrait of her as well.  I have recently had the quilts looked at by a quilt historian, the main fabrics are from the 1820-1900. Some of the cloth (black ones) were mourning cloth, some probably other clothing. They are beautiful quilts with no signs of wear.  They were made for my grandmother, Veda Alice Brown Schroeder.  I would be happy to post pictures, but I am not sure how to do it on this site.

Birth:  Sep. 9, 1843
