Interesting, thanks!
Question for the group: Is there any evidence of anyone <cough, Clara,
Paine, cough> destroying or amending photographs or other documentation
of the Lyon & Ashcroft years? By analogy, I know that in families it is
not uncommon to cut an ex-spouse out of a group photograph.
I have seen a few pics of Lyon & Ashcroft, with SLC and without him, so
I'm not asking 'do any exist?' We know there are some.
I think it is only Clemenses in the Edison Company film. Correct?

Dear Members and Twainiacs,
With the excitement of Mark Twain's autobiography soon coming out and
the
revealing of his relationship to Isabel Lyon, I would like to extend a
warm invitation to all interested, to come visit The Lobster Pot, ( 23
Mark
Twain Lane, Redding Ct.), the original property that Mark Twain gave to
Isabel Lyon, during this special Centennial year. I have lived on The
Lobster
Pot property for 25 years and have put together a great collection
photos
and information regarding The Lobster Pot, Twain and Isabel Lyon. A
special
Mark Twain Centennial Toast on the patio is a must for all visitors.
I have included, below, some photos of Isabel, Twain and the Lobster
Pot.
Also, for all Twainiacs, as a special Centennial sale, I have reduced
the
prices 30% on the Mark Twain Centennial Collection, which can be
purchased by contacting me directly or with Pay Pal. To view the
collection go to
