A few days ago, my husband Tom and I got a phone call from an antiques dealer. He said that Merrill’s Auctions and Appraisers in Williston would auction the Mehuron’s family archives the following day. We were surprised since we already have a healthy store of papers, photographs, and memorabilia of the Mehuron family carefully stored in our home. And Tom’s cousin has a stash in equal measure.
Tom put a bid in for the lot. Someone had already done so. This was curious because we thought only family members would care about these things. We went to the auction center in person while the other bidder called and offered more and more money. We wound up paying three times what we intended.
