Hi there. I am Margaret Dusel from Belmont, California. My maternal grandfather Fredrick A Boddy was reportedly from Ontario, as was his wife Frances Ruth Trombley.
Your letter/account is fascinating! Is there more? Who is it written by?
The really odd thing is, my mother had almost the exact same handwriting style. What coincidence.
If you are still working on this project, I'd love to hear from you. I am just starting out and amazed to have found something so quickly. It's been about an hour, ha ha ha.
