Inmate #7739 Leavenworth
Rec: 4 Feb 1911
Crime: Mailing an Obscene Letter 
Term: 2 years
Age: 51
Discharged: 9 Jun 1913




















Squire and Effie had a daughter names Adelaide Mary Mabry 1893-1985.

I have no idea what the contents were in the letter he wrote or to whom. I also never found any death information for him but his wife Effie died in 1961. 

I would of loved to of known him. He has knowledge in those eyes and I would bet he was a great story teller. I would of sat and listened to him for hours.

Squire I pray your life was a full one and you had lots of wonderful memories, and the good out weighed the bad.

    1. Wouldn't that be a treasure? I have a few from when my grandfather was in the war and his folks and siblings wrote to him and him to them. My grandmother had them a very long time I didn't know about them and my Aunt gave them to me after Gram died...So maybe you too will find a hidden treasure.
