MEMORABILIA FROM MOTHER'S 'HOPE CHEST'......AN EARLY 'SOCIAL SECURITY CARD'...and A PAGE OF INHERITANCES ..

 



more nostalgia from the crates and boxes in the basement......My mother's Social Security Card, from Oct 5, 1939.....issued when she and my Father opened a short-lived grocery store, in Huntsville..it was, still, in its original mailing envelope! [the first SSN was issued sometime in mid-November 1936. In any case, on whatever day the first card was issued, hundreds of thousands of SSNs were probably issued on that same day, so many people had Social Security cards issued on the very first day they became available.]


and...amother page of family nostalgia..................a list of 'inheritances' from a couple of centuries ago.....
