No Guy I don't know, however NONE of us are getting any younger. I will very
soon be 87 and feel like it, likewise my memory isn't quite as good as it
used to be ! however things are pretty good considering and life is not too
dull. I have a huge 15 room house and I invited my daughter and her family
to move in two years ago and it has worked out quite well. So I have 2
adults 2 grandchildren (teenagers), 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 parakeet, things are
seldom dull !

To the List --
Does anyone know what's happened to Alice Volkert? Her website
(http://www.volkertservices.com) is offline, and my e-mail messages to her
are bouncing. The Colby Family Association website
(http://www.colby-family-association.org/), which she maintained, is also
offline, though her WorldConnect GEDCOM
(http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=colby-volkert) is still
up. The most recent update to that GEDCOM is given as 7 May 2017.

Syrucuse Journal 13 Dec 1907
Is Crazed By Poverty
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Dec. 13.-C. M. Colby to-day murdered his wife and took
his own life because he could not stand the thought of "only ten more
shopping days till Christmas when he had nothing with which to buy
presents."
All night he lay brooding over his poverty. Last year he was prospering and
the Colby Christmas was merry. When day broke to-day he tried to induce his
wife and daughter to let him turn on the guns and kill them all. They
refused. While the wife was preparing breakfast Colby hid in a closet. The
daughter was dressing in another room.
When his wife entered Colby pounced upon her from behind. The girl tried to
help fight off the maniac but her mother told nor to run for help. When the
daughter returned with a driver of .a passing van Colby had slashed his wife
with his razor until her head hung by a thread. Colby had cut his own
throat.
Marilyn a question for you are you in away way related to the
Dunfield/duffield in franklin Co., Pa. (Mercersburg area) ?
