Phyllis Durfey Scrapbook




Phyllis was the firstborn of Vilate and Oak Durfey. Jolene Barton, who lived for Phyllis for a time,  put together this scrapbook of Phyllis's life. I am grateful to Jolene for assembling this book and allowing me to scan it.

Click here to see the scrapbook. 

The information about Phyllis below is from a family narrative I wrote "Gone Too Soon: Eva Vilate Durfey" I thought it might give some context to her scrapbook.
