  22.   Dear Claudia,

    Your nice little note about the ring came the other day. Since then our Auntie Grace died. She was the wife of my half-brother, Birney Lincoln Strunk, whom we always called "Brother" as tho it were his name. Edna Strunk was sister to B.L.S. The latter BLS died & "Aunty Grace" his wife married Ernest Everett who died about 5 years ago. Edna Strunk married & her last name was "Barrington" if I remember correctly. But Claudia I was never interested in family trees and I still am not. I'll tell you all I recall:

    Henry Hickox Chase, my father, your great grandfather (on maternal side) was son of Marshal Jackson Chase & Mary Ann Hickox Chase (I don't even know how to spell all names exactly right!) This couple had 3 children; H.H. Chase, Carlos Chase & Florence Chase.
    They had a cousin Merton G. Chase who lived in Lodi, Ohio at one time. He had a daughter Joyce, and my daughter Joyce is named after her. The Merton G. Chase family (wife Dora) moved to Albuquerque New Mexico after their Joyce died. All are now deceased.

    Florence was mother of Karl & Josephine Heidley. (Father was William Heidley). Josephine is still living tho almost blind. She is about my age. She prob. would know more family history than I. If you want it, I'll send you her address in Luding, Michigan. Her married name is Daron. But writing for her is prob. much harder than it is for me. (It's no trouble for me to write but I can't read it very well after I've written!)

    Carlos Chase married Lavina Dancer. They had 2 children: Clara & Lulu. Clara married a wealthy architect in the East Coast (of US) whose name was David Breese Jones.

    My mother's name was Rhoda Prosser; she changed to Ruth. There were some relatives named Charlie Prosser. I met some of his children in Oak Park, Ill. one time but I don't remember their names. When Ruth Prosser married Mr. Strunk they lived in Hillsdale, Michigan. He had 3 "maiden lady" sisters:
    Aunt Julia, Aunt Rose, Aunt Rue.

    I don't suppose much of this info will fit into your research but here it is, that's all I can think of now....

    My mother (& Ruby's) had brown hair & hazel eyes...
