Treasure Chest Thursday – Lost glass slides

George Albert Earl in Tonga
My great grandfather George Albert Earl went to Tonga in the early 1900s. He stayed there for almost 3 years serving a church mission. He taught and loved the people. For years my family has cherished a set of glass negatives that were all pictures from his time in Tonga. I recently discovered that somehow they have been misplaced. I wanted to get a copy of he pictures from these negatives to upload online and preserve them. It seems maybe I am too late. They have vanished. I am hopeful that someone will find them tucked away in a box they didn’t know they had.
