Ephemera EphemeRAMya
Daylon Travens was known as being one of the few men around who enjoyed scrapbooking.

It gave the masculine flare to scrapbooking that was not seen much before. Some of the people in the scrapbooking groups could be ladies who were tomboys and those who did not associate with a particular gender giving a more in the middle not quite so feminine variety of pages, but Daylon's was many times as masculine as most pages could get.

Before the day was over, seven members of the family would lie dead. And the man responsible — respected farmer and father Charlie Lawson — would leave behind one of the most chilling true crime mysteries in American history.
