We are just now home from our trip and I thought I better give you more details.Leland Gafford was born on March 21, 1919 in Gypsum, Saline, Kansas. His only sister that I know of was Eula Marie Gafford, born April 23, 1927 in Salina. Their parents were Lawrence Elmer Gafford and Flavilla Marie Saddoris who were married on June 14, 1916 in Gypsum.Lawrence Elmer died on July 8, 1946 in Salina.Eula Marie did not die in Saline County, and I'm not sure about Flavilla.Eula Marie married a Mr. Smith but I don't know where.Could you possibly look up the marriages for Eula Marie Gafford and her parents?And then the deaths of Lawrence and Leland and their obituaries if available? That would be wonderful. If this proves to be too time consuming a project, please let me know.Sincerely,Laurie Jensen
