Can you e-mail an attachment of the photograph? Not to the list, because it
doesn't receive attachments, probably. Just curious. Della's daughter
Juanita lived in the home of my husband's parents for a time, and Elizabeth
& Henry Rawley raised my husband's father for a few years of childhood.

Subject: [INOWEN] ARNEY and BOWEN Notes
Hi! I just jumped in and saw the Arney name being tossed around.
It's
not
much, but I have an Arney connection as well. Mine is Elizabeth
Arney,
married to Thomas Winters around 1830. Their son Sylvester married my
ancestor Patia Phipps. I also have an old tin-type photo of my great
gradmother, Minetta Belle Phipps with a woman named Della BOWEN. Anyone
know
who this BOWEN woman is? My idea was that is was Minetta Belle's
half
sister
Dellie Leak, but she died at about 21, and I have no evidence that
she
married anyone. Any ideas on this would be welcome.
