Tyl obtained the scrapbook, photographs and slides from Al Dugas, a tenant at the house in Uncasville where Cuming lived at the time of her death. Dugas informed Tyl that the bulk of Cuming's estate went to the Joslin Foundation, Boston, Massachusetts. Al Dugas kept photographs and other material they discarded.
