Ray..I have more info on your Uncle Caps family. I have been collecting data on the
Varns family from Pa to the Dakotas for some time. I have over 60 family groups along
with supporting data. Will copy and mail to you any info you desire. My grandfather
was Sherman Abraham Varns a
brother of Jesse Fremont Varns. That family lived near Sisseton, SD. One uncle,
William, still lives at the Old Agency on the Sioux Reservation. He is 90 or 91. I have
had not contact with Cap and Ethels children. I would like to have their addresses and
perhaps I could exchange info with them and please send pictures of Ethel and Cap. I
would like to have them for my file. The Varns in SD began when my great grandmother
Susanna homesteaded near Salem in McCook county in 1883.
