: : I'd appreciate any information pertinent to a silver urn left by an elderly relative. Engraved on one side: "In appreciation of your kindness during April 1906", on the other side: "H.C. Van Ness, A. Van Ness, O. Samuelson, F.H. Wilkinson"

: What was the name of your relative? As you may or may not know, April 1906 was when the famous San Francisco Earthquake and Fire occurred.

I believe the family members that would have been in San Francisco during the earthquake were surnamed Fleissner. Thanks for your help - Judy
