Logbook Diary starting on July 28, 1955 from Redding to East Coast. Notes indicate Alice and Marve were on trip with Earl & Mary; there is no mention of Margaret.
I added maps along the trip totaling 3165 miles from Melrose Park (3590 from Redding). Vehicle got 13 mi/gallon. Near end of logbook, it looks like phone numbers (Naomi) and game.
Here are Fan Charts showing family from Elwood Bailey and Ella Cartland and another from JW Adair and Maggie Miller.
I found these papers written by one of the children of Dr. Herbert Hardy Cartland & Henrietta Houston.
This 8 page letter contains many details about Bailey & Nichols ancestry. The parents of Elwood Bailey are William Haskell Bailey (1813-1903) and Mary Chadbourne Nichols (1831-1885) and was written March 15, 1964 to Mary Bailey Adair from her first cousin Edna, daughter of Elwood's brother Alfred Corwin Bailey and Minnie Riley.
The last page includes note written by Mary with special attention "to Dorothy".
