Jan, there may be something to all this... as my husband's grandfather
didn't every talk about his family either. Like he was hiding something or
ashamed... I have an address in "the bottom of the pile", as you may know,
and I will send it to you.. It is a lady who lives 9 miles from Ironwood,
into Wisconsin. She has told me some heavy duty stories about the
prohibition times up there. And about all the speak easy's that are still
there for touring!!!!!! Did you know that there were Canfield's related to
the Capone's! Ha makes ya wonder..
Will get back with you on that address... PJ

PJ, My husband says no one ever mentioned "Babe's"
real name, so may be
George Morris??? And my husband's father never took the
family to Ironwood
to see their grandparents. He basically wanted nothing to do with them. My
husband's father absolutely would not go back there. Sometime in the next
2 or 3 years, we hope to vacation in the Ironwood area and hopefully gather
a little more specific info. I am still waiting on family to respond.
Don't know if there are skeletons or what, but my attitude is if there are,
you might as well make them dance! Jan
