Isabella  McLeod (Bella) Hill's  calling card among those belonging to other relatives--as well as a McMorine. Everyone had such a card, it seems,  even if, like Herb Nicholson, the person just signed his name on a slip of cardboard. The fanciest calling cards were the Masonic ones. Women in Richmond, it appeared, still had their 'day at home' when they entertained their neighbours. If you read the letters you will see that Margaret, who had no servants, considered this duty both fun (for she was proud of her baking abilities) and a chore. But she liked to hear the gossip as much as anyone and this was the best occasion to get all the latest local news, so to speak.  Bella Hill died in 1913 of 'cancer of the eye." The  Nicholsons are feuding with the Hills in 1910 era (over money and family responsibilities) and the letters are littered with disparaging remarks about Clayton Hill who was well off financially, being in the business of tombstones in an era when early death happened often.  Margaret and Norman's grandchildren only had nice things to say about Clayton, who would take them along on car trips to all the local cemeteries!
