To researchers interested in VALENTINE DAME (1880 Marion TN to Polk/Dallas MO). I have in my possession a trunk which originally belonged to my grx2 grandfather, Pleasant C. Dame, son of Valentine and Nancy. This trunk has been passed down through my family via Pleasant's son, William Valentine Dame to my grandfather, Everett E. Dame and then to his son, William Loran Dame, deceased 3/12/2008. I found in the trunk several pieces of very old papers, including a Dallas County form regarding the estate of my grx3 grandfather, Valentine Dame. That form reads as follows:
COUNTY OF DALLAS
SS:
The State of Missouri, to all persons to whom these presents shall come, greeting:

Dame administrator of all and singular, the goods and chattels, rights and credits, which were of the said Valentine Dame at the time of his death, with full power and authority to secure and dispose of said property according to law, and collect all moneys due said deceased, and in general to do and perform all other acts and things which are or hereafter may be required of him by law.
