Charles Kemp holds a frame with a historic locket, Los Angeles, 1936

Description: Story related to photograph appears with the article, "Hair From Head of Washington Owned Here," Los Angeles Times, 22 Feb 1936: A3.
The history of the locket's ownership is traced as such: after Washington's death it was given to Col. Tonsard. In 1916 it was given to Maud Yoder by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stocker - Mrs. Stocker's maiden name was Clara Baldwin, daughter of E.J. Baldwin. Col. Tonsard is assumed to be an ancestor of Stocker's mother, who was a friend of Maud Yoder.
Kemp holds up a small picture frame holding a oval-shaped locket with an inscription written on it.
