Thanks Dave, I appreciate it. Was your uncle from IN
originally?

I forwarded this to my uncle by marriage: Donald L Drake whose Father was a John Drake
who lived in Newton IA. Don is in his 70's so his Dad, who has been dead many years,
would have been 90-100+. He says he doesn't have any info that far back but will dig
out what he has and check.
My connection to Decatur Co. is pretty weak. I think a Myers lived there at one time,
but I haven't been able to get past an 1895 suicide in So. IA to track anything more.
That would have been a GGGrandfather, Geo. Myers.
Anyway, good luck with your search.
