  		Legate Genealogy From the Zentmyer Collection. Mailed by Joseph Brutsche b.1844 to 'Mrs. M. A. Brutsche' (his wife), in Pinconning, Michigan in 1899. (we have the envelope) May Augusta (LeGate) Brutsche was visiting her father, Sidney LeGate, who had moved to Pinconning with his second wife Catherine Turner. It is not clear why Joseph needed to send her own genealogy to her in Michigan, unless perhaps she had forgotten to bring it.

  		Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from 1908 This map shows Joseph and May's house in 1908, the year before Joseph died. It's important to note the address is shown as both 525 and 523 Chestnut St., as earlier Sanborn maps indicated 523 as the address, and the 1900 US Census had them at 522 Chestnut St., an address which never existed. Sanborn maps are an invaluable resource for examining early real estate development.
