Talk:Alvah Curtis Roebuck

photo
I have located a photo at FindAGrave. ACRoebuck's "memorial" is under "Famous Persons," record # 10779102. I have emailed for info on rights: I do not know if they subscribe to CC by ... copyleft, or whatever. They can be kind of slow to respond, and I haven't had ANY success using their Forums, but otherwise, they seem very friendly and easy to deal with, so if someone else wants to follow up on this, go for it! I get very little chance to use the internet, and haven't located any other photos of the guy. Ragityman (talk) 19:26, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * update: In the FAQ on the FindAGrave site, I found this policy statement:
 * "The copyright of all photos posted to Find A Grave remains with the original submitter. No use of photos for any other website or personal use is given (sic) without prior consent of the original submitter."
 * I hope to hear back, eventually, from my email inquiry. If given contact info for "submitter"/ holder of copyright, I will appeal for permission for free use under CC or GNU license, but I'm not too hopeful.  Maybe something else will come through.

Racial Heritage
When I was in elementary school, I was taught that Mr. Roebuck was black. Further research indicates that his racial heritage may be somewhat complex, but I am still surprised that there is no mention of it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.8.91.47 (talk) 03:52, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Vintage floor length fur coat with the original Sears label still attached.
Hello my name is Vanessa. I've lived in Greensboro, N. C. all my life. When I was a young girl my father bought my mother one of your full length fur coats. It had to have been bought at the Sears and Roebuck that is still on Friendly Avenue before it partnered with K-Mart. To this day I have it secured and stored away for safe keeping. It is still in immaculate condition. It still has the Sears label attached and the original buttons too. It is dark brown in color. I'm trying to figure out the vintage price it would be worth today. Can anyone help me with this? 2600:1700:1020:A100:ECD3:D1B6:534E:B2E7 (talk) 20:08, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
