Kitten, I have 1 or 2 letters that Kenan wrote to James (his brother.) I also have a letter from Kenan's son, JJ, that he wrote to his Aunt Martha Ann Rainer... and I have a letter from Kenan's daughter, Susan Elizabeth Rainer, AKA Bettie" to her Aunt Martha Ann Rainer. These letters are originals...and they wrote them once they moved to Texas. By the way, Kenan signs his letters "Kenan" so I suspect that is how he spelled it :-) I would love to swap info with you if you are interested. Kim

I was brought up in a home next door to Mrs. Oscar Park (Allie Beth Boswell). I learned a good bit about the Boswell family. I remember Aunt "Bert" who visited Miss Allie at times. Also met her sister, Nell and brother, Joe (I think). Is there anything that I can help you with? I did hear the name Waco but don't think that he was Miss Allie's brother. Maybe nephew.
