Found inside one of Samuel’s tobacco sacks, 40 years after he died, was a folded up piece of cloth imprinted with a picture of his wife Blanche who died when she was 23 years old. He must have carried the picture around until he died 47 years later. Until that cloth was found their descendants did not know what Blanche looked like.
