Six generations of the Carson family regulated by a watch now in the hands of J. T. Carson Hannibal’s veteran watchmaker jeweler at 217 Hill street. The 300 year old English timepiece runs steadily though its three century history and its heavy three inch thick case with silver and glass two crystals remains a marvel.

Other notes mention visits by Mrs Davis of Chicago Oscar Miller of Quincy and O K Kelly of Lakenan Missouri.
