Shirt Cuffs May Help Birth Certificate For 1906 Quake
A pair of shirt cuffs mailed from San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire may let Mrs. Marion Howard Snell of Panorama City obtain a birth certificate. Her attorney uses the cuffs in court to claim she was born in San Francisco April 19, 1906 to secure a passport for Europe. The father mailed the cuffs to his sisters April 22 1906, and later recovered them with a note describing safety and a newborn baby girl.
