Angie,
As you can see from my posts, Wanda is a very mysterious child for me. I am related to
your Father-In-Law if he is Wanda's child. Dorothy, Wanda's Mother, was my
Father's first cousin.(Alexina Madeline Cortright was my Grandfather's sister.) I
noticed in the obituary for Fred Roderick, he is listed as having two sisters. One was
Marie Leist, the other was Wanda. I am not sure what exactly was going on in Hartford
City, but from correspondence of Alexina with my Grandfather, the family really struggled
in poverty especially during the Depression. At one point my Grandfather bought Dorothy a
washing machine because she was supporting her family by taking in laundry. Wanda's
cousin, Doris Nolan, may know. If you like, email me at ellenskramstad(a)yahoo.com.
