Excerpt from Third Souvenir of Francis C. Waid: Containing Family and Personal Reminiscences, Together With an Appendix Including Treatises, Family Records and Miscellanea To dear friends and kindred I return sincere thanks for kind and encouraging words - both spoken and written; also for valued literary contributions to the souvenir, received from time to time. And I feel under special obligations to Mrs. Inez A. Hall, of Meadville, for the graceful lines written by her on the subject of the family groups as they appear in this volume.
