The obituary for Dorothy Louise lists a funeral home of Corbin & Palmer Funeral Home at 9 Pleasant Street in Essex Junction, Vt. If this is not far maybe OP can reach out explain what he found and ask if the funeral home has a point of contact for the family. I know my family tend to use the same funeral home in the near by town, almost every family members funeral I can remember was held at the same place. If this is true in Vermont they might be able to help reunite that piece of family history with the family.

Thats what I was thinking too since my mom's side of the family also uses the same funeral home.

Dorothy passed away less than two years ago, so that would be a really good option. I would love to hear that I helped reunite this piece of family history with their descendants, but I also wouldn't blame OP if they left it alone since it's already been framed and placed back in the wall that's now sealed up again lol

Hopefully if OP decides to reunite it with the family they with give us an update. After all the info you provided I’m To invested not to find out the outcome. Great job on the research.

Thank you. That would seriously warm my heart; in my mind, our heritage is so incredibly important and it should be preserved whenever possible.
