| Rayson and Edythe Brown, 1926 |
They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary just months before Rayson's death. These letters from Edythe and her mother, Edith Amy (Duffield) Sisson (1864-1927), were written to Rayson before they were married. They document the Sisson family's move from Ottawa, Illinois to Los Angeles, California in 1922, as well as the progression of Edythe and Rayson's relationship. While we don't have the letters Rayson wrote, the ladies refer to things he wrote and answer his questions, so it gives us insight into his thoughts, too.
