Wow, that is really helpful, even though we aren't quite there, yet! I just couldn't see anything else, I think because I'd been staring at it too long. I thought that first letter of the first word looked like the number 4, but of course it isn't. Maybe it could be a C? The rest of the word looks like an "au" or "aur" or "arr?" The last one could be a "y", but none of the other y's go up that high. At first I thought it was on old fashioned "s."

On the second word, first letter, I don't think it's an F by comparison to the F in Forsythe just below it. Fairy sounds good as Ferry, but it just doesn't loook like an F. Immediately following the F looks like an "air."

Off to call the reference at Harper's Ferry. Thanks!
