I found this token on July 5 in the back yard of a house here in Robinson. I posted a picture of it on a Facebook Group about the local history of Robinson, Illinois. A few days ago my wife received a phone call from Susan Hays. Apparently a friend had told her about my Facebook post. She still lives in Robinson, and she told my wife she would like to have the token if I didn't mind.
So this past Saturday my wife and I went to her house to give the token to her. She was absolutely thrilled, and told us that Bob Farrer was her boyfriend when she was 13 years old. She is 78 years old now. The token was found in the back yard of the house where she grew up. We had a very pleasant visit with Susan and she told us a lot about the history of the house where I found the token.
I know my day was made, and I think hers was too.
