till 1888. when we came to Washington, D. C. Mr. Sixburv was in real estate business here until his decease
in 1901.
I have one sister residing at Evans Mills. Mrs. Weslev Wilson, one sister who lives near Peekskill on the Hudson. 1 would be very glad indeed if we could all be together in your citv to celebrate "Old Home Week" as
