Hello! You've Got Pictures! Hello Bill,

I haven't talked with you in so long. In Michigan last month I saw a picture of Herbert Edgar Knight, b 1852, and his father William Erastus Knight. My copy of the pictures are in Georgia right now, but I should get them back by the end of the week next week. This is a snapshot of the original picture. I went to his gravesite in Lansing, Mi last month. Apparently there is a big stone saying Knight there, and room for more family to be buried there. Apparently my Gt Uncle Homer and his wife were suppose to be buried there, but he refused! Instead they are buried in another relatives place! He refused to be buried next to his father. He never got over the anger of his father dying while he was a child. Uncle Homer was so gentle spirited that this surpised me.

It's bedtime.

Your relative,

Cheryl Mauer
