My grandmother Elsie May Scammahorn was born in 1900 in Lagrange. Her sister Zamma, I am
not sure of. Elsie did not know much about her mother or why she abandoned her and
Zamma. Since Milton KS is just a dot on the map, these Scammahorns must be related. You
are so fortunate that you still have grandparents still living that can be such a wealth
of information! I am thinking that the Scammahorns must have moved to Ks shortly after
my grandmothers birth because (Maud) was back in Lagrange around 1902. Grandmother Elsie
married William Oyler and Zamma married a Compton. I would think our James and John
would at least be cousins. I believe James middle name was Haskell. Your John appears to
have been older than James. Maybe these names are familiar to your grandparents as well.
Write more later. Norma
