NOV. 12 ISSUE ANSWERS: Elizabeth Clark Douglas was shipwrecked when she was 14 months old on her family’s journey from England to Romeo in 1834. Elizabeth lived in a log house. She grew up, went to Romeo schools and married the village dentist, Issac Douglas. The Church Street museum has Issac’s dental tools, apothecary jars, office secretary, books, Issac’s dental license and paintings. The Church Street Museum has an incredible collection of Elizabeth and Issac’s belongings. Two truckloads of Romeo artifacts were returned to The Romeo Historical Society by Elizabeth Douglas’s relatives. She died a couple of years after Issac Douglas, who died in Romeo, about one hundred years ago while she was living in Texas with relatives. The relatives cared for the possessions and finally decided to return them to Romeo where they are buried. The Romeo Historical Society has clothing, oil paintings, books, furniture, quilts, tables, chairs and a settee. These can all be viewed in the museums. The most important donation is a letter that Elizabeth wrote when she was 92 years old about her family’s journey to America. This house served as a dentist’s office and their home until they moved to North Bailey Street. The historical society is grateful for all the donations that the citizens of Romeo, have saved protected and donated to the museum over the years. We still continue to receive valuable items that tell Romeo’s history. Joan and Richard Beringer, Romeo Historical Society Curators
