I found two trunks on the street in Studio City, CA. I investigated with neighbors and the trunks were "dumped" in the middle of the night of August 17, 2015. The trunks belong to Paul G. Debs. I am in possession of what appears to be every personal document this man kept with him from 1909 to 1935. Due to the nearly flawless condition of the contents of the two trunks (they were decayed and falling apart beyond repair), I have a fairly large archive on this individual. I am seeking any living member of the Debs family or descendants. The big mystery is, who had these 115 year old trunks, how did they come to possess them, and why were they dumped on a residential street? Paul had the trunks until December 1935. Nothing in them is dated later than that. They are a time capsule of this man's life until his early 40s. It appears they were sealed at that time and not reopened. If you are a Debs descendent, I would like to hear from you.
