About Us
 

When researching the names on the quilt, we came across many names that we were unable to locate. These missing names on the gave us many questions. Where these people not even from Clay County? Had someone pay to have these names for people that were not living in the Clay County area? Could they have been a memorial of their passing? These questions will go unanswered, but for now no matter the case they still left us something of themselves even if only through their signatures.
