When I visited a historical society in Georgia last year, I asked them what their most unusual "record" was. The volunteer got very excited and ran to the back room. I wasn't prepared for what he brought out. He brought out a super old prosthetic LEG!! He had no idea who it had belonged to, so I'm not sure what purpose it served other than just being unusual.

On the floor leaning against a table I noticed some ledgers. When I lifted one to look inside I was surprised to see that they were from a doctor's office in the 1960s and 1970s with names, procedures, and amounts charged. I was really surprised considering today's privacy acts. They were a little mildewy but I hope someone who was a genealogist took them home and is transcribing them.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-91915660626862735992021-02-18T17:05:54.440-05:002021-02-18T17:05:54.440-05:00Haha!
