Just doin what comes naturally to kids Lorraine unearths piece of Georgetowns past Herald StaH Writer Children of all ages have burrowed in thai r backyards at one lime or another creating mini cm pi res or the next super highway and shaping their domain accord tog to the blueprint in their Imagination Often enough theyll unearth mysterious in the course of their labors old chipped marbl es dusty plastic soldier from a long ago eaten box of Crnckcrjack or perhaps some rare bits of glass from an old Coke bottle Incvit ably he treasures arc hidden In some secret spot until he spot itself is en over the years Sixyear old Lorraine Monk of Georgetown made one such discovery in her Main Street backyard Yet Lorraine find was so unique it even made her Lorraine Monk holds up the old child boot the round while in the backyard her Main Street Soulh home in Georgetown The boot to be SO tofiDyean old and has the Monk family wondering who it could have belonged to Herald photo mother sit up and take note Lorraine came across tiny childs shoe that from all appearances must be at least GO years old Lorraine a Grade 1 student pi Holy Cross School in Georgetown made the discovery recently while playing in her backyard with a neighbor tiny shoe under a clump of grass wailing to be found Monk Lorraines mother is a ma red at the find and wonders how the shoe could have lain there out In the open with nobody seeing It before The shoe itself isnt very remarkable It appears to be a small childs shoe very plain and unadorned of black leather What Is astonishing Is how well preserved it Is for Its apparent age It seems they really made them to last in those days No fewer than 17 Load up those cameras- A liny nails were found In a heel less than two Inches wide The sole was affixed to he shoe with as many If not more nails each one exactly a quarter Inch from the other The shoe has dried out somewhat in the days since Lorraine found it Mrs Monk said since It had been very damp and almost like new when found Now the leather has become hard and brittle Mrs Monk plans to rub some oil into he leather to preserve it and perhaps make it supple again Mrs Monk could provide no clues as to the previous owners of the house since Ihey themselves only moved in last October She did say though that he home was at least as old as he boot If not older There may hove been another building on the corner of their lot where the shoe was found since concrete foundations can still Loco I historian John McDonald doubts tho lily that there could have been a farmhouse on that parcel of land which belonged George Kennedy One can only surmise to whom ihe shoe belonged or how it had ended In the backyard perhaps It had been lost from knapsack on an afternoon Jaunt through the fields It could have fallen off the child s foot as he or she was gliding on a swing Or tHl3 could all be highly romanticized conjee lure In the meantime Mrs Monk plans to preserve Ihe shoe and keep it in a plastic
