Here are links to the items in Verna's scrapbook coming from families that have both Karns and Dawson ancestries. There are two such families: Arthur and Edith (Dawson) Karns as well as Elmer and Verna (Dawson) Karns. To make things more interesting, Arthur and Elmer were brothers; Edith and Verna were sisters. Our particular family line is from Elmer and Verna, but both families are represented here. The items are presented, as best we can tell, in chronological order within each family line.
