Post #2, Wednesday, 9/11/24

I now realize I am unable to put together a WordPress site with photographs and documents which clearly portrays the subject I hoped to share. This WordPress agreement will expire August, 2025. I had considered publishing the obituaries that apply, the mini bio’s of the pioneers and settlers of our family, and the few photos and artist depictions of the homes our ancestors built. If any interest in such is shown I will share them on this platform, or by email transfer. ….. I only wish this could have been accomplished when Hobert’s generation was still around. After recovery, Hobert shared with his *cousins (*as I recall), living in Mississippi, that the memorials had been recovered, but a permanent place had not yet been found for their abode. (I failed to attain the Mississippi families names and addresses, a fact which adds to the relevance of this effort). A time will come when our children will wish they had access to this information. ….. It is a great feeling to mark this job off my bucket list and to know my children will not have the burden of moving them again, or protecting them, thanks be to God!

  1. 9/28/2024 – As yet I have not located the place of burial for Ray & Lena Stickel or their daughter, Helen. While searching I have located the headstone of Ray’s father and mother, John Andrew and Mary Frances Henderson and next to them is the marker for Sarah Helen Henderson, sister of Mary Frances. Will add these to upcoming Post #3, as God permits.
