J.D Voss is my Great Great Grandfather.

Back in the 1950s when we lived in Ridgecrest, CA and my dad worked at China Lake Naval Air Station, we spent a lot of time exploring parts of the desert. One of the places we went to was Randsburg ghost town, which back then was not a "tourist" attraction as it is now. It was totally deserted. I vaguely remember going into a building that had an open safe and us saving the documents that were in that safe, which wasn't much. But here are a few checks we found along with some other documents for J.D. Voss, who was apparently mining areas around there. I have not been able to find much about him online and I wonder if he really ever did have viable mines in the Kern County area.

Hi, everyone. I was looking through some of my stuff and came across this old check that I had forgotten about. I know it's not exactly paper currency, but it is paper, and it has to do with money. I originally bought it for the revenue stamp back when I was very into philately. (But that's died down lately in favor of numismatics.)

It's dated June 5th, 1868 for the First National Bank of Susquehanna, PA. A William [not sure on the last name] was paying $13.95 to a Miss Mitchell. Quite a bit of money back then!

I was wondering if anyone else on this forum has any old checks they would like to share. I don't have anything else like this, and I don't know much about checks, but I may begin to be on the lookout for more in the future. I sure like this one!
