Notes:
He was a lather by trade. Wife died early leaving him to raise thechildren.
He used to make candy and offered it to us when we were kids. Our favorite was
a peppermint kind. He also had a kind that was bitter and tasted awful to us.
Unfortunately, he always had a lot of that kind on hand. He was very
industrious, had a large garden, always was puttering around or keeping himself
busy.
Sealed to spouse on 12 Jan 1971 ARIZO.
