I inherited the first married surname of my great step-grandmother Amanda J. (nee
HERTHEL?) RAINS (buried as SHEETS on Oct 29, 1952 Greenlawn Cemetery, Floyd Co, IN). She
had 3 sons Ransom (b. 5-1889; a preacher), Charles (b. 1-1892; buried 4-15-1971; my
step-grandfather), Ocean (b. 5-1894; a house painter in Chicago) and Edgar (b. 12- 1896;
buried 2-20-1973). She married Aaron SHEETS on Oct. 21, 1901 and had twins. Lula died at
birth. Luther A. Sheets (b. 3-1-1901)
