Excerpts from the Letter from Sara & Salathiel Stanley to Uncle Elza B Hickey
Glingary Fillmor Co Nebraska
December the 16 1873
Der brother I reseved your kind leter on the 14 and was glad to her from you. We are all well at present
but myself. I hav had a ver bad cold and I was very sick for a while but I am bout well agan. We have
had a vere nis fol her until December it did comened snoen and it has bin sno on the ground ever since
about 4 inches but it is vere nis winter wether her. I rote in my other leter that *Perlina baby was sick
and vere bad he died on the 18th day of November and Jese had another girl.
from S. Stanley to E. B. hickey
tel John that I think it about tyme I was agiten a leter from him.
*My note: the 18th day of November is the same month and day that is on Martin E. Morgan's tombstone. However the year on the tombstone is 1874 and the date of this letter is 1873. This is another reason I think maybe Martin was their oldest child and the date on the tombstone is wrong. This would likely make their son, Charley Huron born 1874 instead of 1873.

Inscription
MARTIN E. Inf. Son of BENJ. & PERLINA MORGAN DIED Nov. 18, 1874 Aged 10 months
Gravesite Details
The stone says he died in 1874 but after reading family letters I think the year may have been 1873.
