100% CORRECT. - It hurts even more to know that a family member that you/everyone trusted was a thief.
(Incidentally, one of the quilts was my G-G-G-GM's wedding quilt. = When PVT Enos L. Carpenter wrote home that "It is bitter cold now at night & I have no warm thing to wrap up in.", his GM sent her wedding quilt for him to sleep in & which became his shroud . - He literally died in the dooryard of his father's home in Marshall County, MS.)
In addition to being a historic relic that a museum would have wanted to borrow for display, it was the only thing that still existed in 1961 that had been her property.
(She died in a Comanche raid in 1867, shortly after my mother's side of the family fled from Mississippi to Texas to escape the fury of the vengeful damnyankees..)
