The Abstract of Title for the Loessin property in Circleville (images below) is in poor condition. It is an artifact that I cherish and am trying my best to preserve. It is important to remember that my Loessin family's property on the San Gabriel river was devastated by two great floods in 1957 and 1959. In those floods much was lost - including many old family photos dating to the mid-1800s. These included a box full of great daguerrotype images, as well as the wedding photos of my great grandparents and grandparents.
[See Terrys Novel for more info on the floods, their impact on our Cotton Gin business, and the impetus this provided state leaders to begin plans for two future dams that would create Lake Georgetown and Granger Lake.]
