Mildly interesting old sign found in basement

I’m still annoyed. I came across a wooden “DANGER: Blasting” sign nailed to a tree off deep in the woods. It was from the early 1900s. I declined to remove it or even take a picture. The next week, those woods were clear-cut logged and that sign was long gone, never saw it again. I should have grabbed it when I could have.

Doing a demo years ago, I found “Go to Hell, Joe” written very neatly in cursive with chalk on the inside of a wall of our house. Guesstimated that it was written between 1870 and 1900, based on the age of the house.

I always wondered who wrote it, and what exactly Joe had done.

He probably just did it to piss of Joey.
