Searching for Hancock relatives of late Jimmy Foy

A box of Hancock family archives found in Mr. Foy's home

By Lorri Kavich

I work in a residential building in Anderson, Indiana. Recently, one of our residents, Jimmy Foy, (brother-in-law of Georgia H. Hancock Foy) passed away and a friend cleaned out the contents of his apartment because he had no family to contact.

We found a box of family archives with his name on it in one of our many storage rooms today, including 2 paintings of young girls dating back to 1914. One of the paintings had the names Nell Hancock, daughter of Junius and Molly Hancock, and another with the names Betsy Damron Hancock, Sallie Bett Damron, and George W. Hancock on the back. There is a photo of the Hancock Hotel and a leaflet from a Thanksgiving banquet held at the hotel in 1908. There is a photo of Junius Hancock and other photos and items that I felt were too precious to throw away. I decided to Google the names and I ran across this website. Please publish this news and my e-mail address and/or office phone number so any interested family member can contact me. I would be happy to aid in seeing that these things make their way to their proper place. Respectfully, - LORI KAVICH 765-643-9441. lorri.kavich@rhf.org
