Scope and content
A sample of George Weyerhaeuser's third grade school work. On May 24, 1935, the nine year old boy was kidnapped as he walked from Lowell School to meet his sister at Annie Wright and travel home for lunch. The ransom note demanding $200,000 contained George's signature. His school work was used as a comparison for the signature. The paper says "Lowell School. Oct 19 1934. George Weyerhaeuser 3b. When I was at the zoo I saw some (animals.) We drove out in out mothers' and teacher's (automobiles)." (T. Times 5/25/1935, pg. 1 plus succeeding months)
