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. Barb
