Interesting... Helpful in figuring out these intertwining family trees. Basically everyone in Gilboa Conesville area related to everyone by marriage. I assume you know Shirley died semi recently

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
