Sallie, I am sorry that I sent you two letters. This is the first time that
I have replied to anyone in INCASS-L. My mothers name is Gertrude and she
married Ralph McDaniel. They are both gone now. My mother's sister Margaret
just passed away last Sat. Now there is only Esther left. I married a man
from Michigan. It is funny that you asked about Simpson's at Young America,
my last name is Sampson. I do not know about the Simpson. Yes, Uncle Orville
and Aunt Louanna were special people.I saw Mary Lou a few years ago in
Florida that is were she is living. Did you know that her husband Don had
passed away and Lucille's husband all so.
Sorry to hear about your hip, hope you have a speedy recovery.
Yes these computers are a wonderful thing. I have meet so many of my cousins
that I did not know that I had and so many nice people.
I am going to bed it is almost 11 o'clock here in Michigan. Please write
again soon.
Take care Betty

Dear Betty,
Who was your mother? Yes, I know John, Hobart, Mary Lou, Lucille, Helen,
Carol, and Max and other of the Shanks' family. My husband almost lived
at Orville and Louanna's. He and John were best friends and Max taught
our daughter to ride her two wheel bike. Carol baby sat for her, at the
store, when I went to Home Ec and knew I wouldn't be home when she got
out of school. Louanna was such a special lady. I miss her and Orville,
still after all of this time.
Hobart married a girl in my high school class--Mary Jean Conrad. I
couldn't think of her name. Ha. Her mother was a teacher at Logansport
High School.
I also knew the Plank's, Dwight and Hazel, Veronica, Ella Crockett and
Alma Fromuth. Harry Plank married my husband's aunt. They had two
daughters, Crystal and Frances. She died and he remarried and they had
Don.
The Planks', Shanks' and Nelson's are kind of cross related. Wasn't
there
Simpson's at Young America? Is that the family you married into. I made a
big mistake and sold our old Co. Directories. Sure wish I had them so I
could look up different people. Sallie
