Here is an item that has never been posted before. It's the 1889 report card of Jim O'Rourke's daughter Sarah, my great-grandmother. It was mixed in with a box of family photographs (not well protected), and I saw it over Thanksgiving for the first time when we were looking through photos. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jim O'Rourke signed the report card.

I like the comment in the "Explanations" section: "Any number below 70 should cause solicitude to the parent". I had to brush up on my vocabulary...from Websters: "solicitude is a feeling of excessive concern, an uneasiness of mind occasioned by fear of evil or desire good, anxiety".

We also have a couple pieces of silverware that have Sarah's initials, "S.OR", on the handle.
