I would like to chat with some of the Krugh relatives who were related to Rosa Merriman Krugh. My ancestor was William P. Merriman, brother to Rosa. I would like to find out more about her. I found her obituary where it said she died from blood poisoning. It didn't say that she died after childbirth and lost a baby. I have a few photos to share also. Would love to hear from you!
Thanks,
Lisa Stucky Kirkland

Yonda,
I have a picture from the 1908 Derrickson Family reunion. It was held at the Ed Derrickson farm. The group picture contains Frank, Nellie, and Edna.
It also contains my grandfather, John Derrickson, the son of Samuel Derrickson.
If you would like a copy of the photo, let me know.
