[PW] 1880 handwriting conundrum/thx

[Dayle Henshel]

I don't really have a clue as to what name it might be, but I strongly think that the name begins with an "S", since if you look at the female/male identifier column (daughter/son), the "S" in Son is identical to the letter configuration that begins the name of the child. 
Sate?
Sante?
