Because she and Mrs. Potter had spent so long lost in the corn maze, Rosemary had to say goodbye and be on her way before seeing the Potter family’s burial plot. Mrs. Potter was happy to extend an invitation for Rosemary to return the following week, which Rosemary gladly accepted.

With the top still down on her trusty convertible, Rosemary enjoyed the fresh fall air on the drive to Paperwick University. The leaves were brilliant against a blue sky, and Rosemary slowed down as she drove through town, admiring tree-lined streets and beautiful old homes. She smiled as she passed the old courthouse, Potter’s Café, First Church, and the Bed and Bakery. She was tempted to stop the car and spend some time on the green, where ducks were gliding on the pond and several couples were chatting while walking around the fitness trail that wove its way through the trees.

But a glance at the clock told Rosemary that she only had an hour until she was to meet Jack and Seth for lunch, and she wanted to spend some time at the university library before then. So, she made the turn at the Village Market, where piles of pumpkins and colorful gourds were on offer outside, and drove toward the university. A few minutes later, she was pulling into a visitor’s parking spot near the library.

Jack had told Rosemary to go to the front desk and ask for Jane Snow, who would be expecting her.

“Hello,” Rosemary said to a pretty, older woman whose silver hair was pulled back into a ponytail. “I’m Rosemary Grey. I’m looking for Ms. Snow.”

“Ah! Hello, Dr. Grey. I am Mrs. Snow, but if you don’t let the kids hear you, you may call me Jane.” She gave a little wink, and Rosemary immediately knew that she and Jane would get along just fine.

“Now,” Jane continued, “I believe you are here to spend some time with the genealogy collection?”

“And any local history you have would be great, too,” said Rosemary, nodding.

“Let’s get you settled in, then,” said Jane, motioning for Rosemary to follow her.

They entered a room at the back of the library which had the word “Genealogy” written in gold lettering on the glass door.

“You’ll find most of what we have on the local families over here in this section,” said Jane, pointing to a couple of shelves along the wall. “And as you can imagine,
