It seems likely those recordings noted by the interviewer in 1891
may have been those recalled by family attorney Franklin Whitmore
in his interview printed in the _Hartford Courant, Sunday Magazine_,
November 26, 1922. Whitmore stated:

"He made about three dozen records and then gave it up. I
remember these were placed in the Lincoln Trust Company
vault with other papers. I presume they are still in
existence."

Determining which Lincoln Trust Company vault and who had access
might provide more answers to what happened to the recordings.
