Notes:
A close and dear cousin of Lillian's. Visited on a number of occasions and
corresponded regularly. Collaborated with LFS on Fountain genealogy and
helped compile most of the records from which the Fountain line info has
been obtained. I visited with Zona and Charlie on several occasions
including a family visit to their farm in Gratiot, OH in Oct. 1952 after
we moved to St Louis. Also met and became acquainted with their
daughter Pauline (crippled and never married) and their son Cletus who
took over the family farm overlooking US 40 near Gratiot, OH.
