Scanned image of a metal plate discovered when the new owner was re-roofing the LEARN house. He donated it to the family reunion auction where I purchased it in 2005. The plate had evidently been used to patch a leak in the roof (note nail holes in lower corners). Tinting and/or painting had been done over the image, but the original features are easy to discern. Family settled in Cookport in 1829.
