    living in Indiana area between 1928 and 1932.

    Had a grocery store at Columbus and was a lawyer.

    Uncle Wilber - third son was married to a lady named Jose. They had a little girl named Maud, who died a few year old from pneumonia. Uncle Wilbur left Jose then and married Aunt Doeny. They had a boy Boane and a girl Phykie. The last I knew where they were, was at Muncy, Ind. Boan and artist and Phykie a teacher. Don't know what they had for kids - I mean Boan and Phykie. I did have a picture Boan painted. I never got to see Boane. When I was in Indiana just about 3 years. There would be no one left there but the kids and if they had any kids. Saw Uncle Wilber and Phykie. - per Flo Baxter.
