sounds like we do--Charlotte worked for Horace Fetterolf for over ten years, according to my information, living within walking distance of his rug factory in Germantown, Philadelphia.In 1909, Mr. Fetterolf wanted to purchase a two acre parcel of land next to his home on Church Road in Wyncote PA (Montgomery).For some reason, it appears that the folks who owned it didn't want to sell it to him, so your Aunt Charlotte shows up one day with a couple of thousand dollars, buys the land, and then three days later sells the parcel to Mr. Fetterolf at a profit.Obviously they had planned this out in advance!
The house where the Fetterolfs lived has been nominated for inclusion on the National Register, and the tract that your aunt purchased for Fetterolf has a couple of beautiful homes on it.We were trying to gather up information on the folks who owned the property, and were interested in finding out more about yr Aunt.
Thanks for the confirmation.If you have anything else I'd be interested in hearing about her.
