Elisha Wilcox

I found this note among Johanna Madsen Hafen's history and memorabilia,

 given to me by her daughter JoAnne Hafen Granger.  

The photo I looked up and found it on Family Search.  

My thoughts are that someone might appreciate this information or even his handwriting.  He died in 1894.

Wilcox)
