I found this interesting slip of paper in the Peck estate this past winter. It is a pledge to the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Pennsylvania. It is signed and dated July, 27th 1918.
Pledge: I hereby solomnly promise, God helping me, to abstain from all distilled, fermented and malt liquors, including wine, beer and cider, as a beverage, and to employ all proper means to discourage the use of, and traffic in the same.
Included is a photo of pledge signer, Miss Anna Peck on a cabinet card from the Breon, Stover studios in State College, Pennsylvania.
Ah, reminders of another era/error.
I don't sign anything without my lawyers finding loopholes first.
Thanks blunderbuss2, I think some may be stuck in that era still around here.
Thank you AmberRose, I think they may have gone the other direction later in life, I found a lot of drug paraphernalia in that house, may have been the grandson pictured in the prison made Kool cigarette frame I posted earlier.
Thanks for the loves Tony and bratjdd
