I was posting some obituaries to my database today, and ran across one for
Miss Etta Mallonee. For those of you as old as I am, you may remember Miss
Mallonee and Bertha Heller at the Decatur Public Library (and who can forget
the Easter Egg Tree this time of year at the library).
In the obit is mention of a niece of Etta, Mrs. Loren Brentlinger. I know
that Etta's sister Ada, and husband James Hoagland, had a daughter, Marjorie
Hoagland, born in 1912. It just hit me that this Marjorie may be the Mrs.
Loren Brentlinger mentioned.
I used to know a Brentlinger couple, Marjorie and Lionel Brentlinger, who
lived in the Monmouth area. They were about the age of my dad, and were good
friends of Dad and his family. Does anyone know if this couple might be the
same people as the Brentlingers mentioned in the obit?
I surely wish I had started this family history project many, many years
earlier!
