Hi Everyone, Hope everyone was warm today while you did shopping either in the stores or, like me, online! Does anyone have/know about Kermit's sister, Vern? She might have been married to a Lewis (that's surname). That's how she is listed in Keith's obit--Vern Lewis. I talked with them today but didn't think to ask him for her info. Louise was concerned about the sudden death of Jeanette Hall. But, they did get hold of her obit. Kermit was 87 yesterday!! He told me about his grandfather's 3 wives. The ones on Ancestry are not correct according to him. John Irwin (known also as J R) Russell first married Clemmie Holcomb. If anyone knows more about her, I'd appreciate some info. Some people have crossed the names of the first 2 wives. The second wife was Eva Hawkins. She had a young daughter when they married and she shows up in the 1900 census as a daughter, but Kermit is sure she is a stepdaughter. And, most people know of Ellie (Dunn) Payne with her 2 sons by Payne when she married Russell. Kermit remembers her and seems to have been fond of her. He has a funny story about Eva Hawkins. Says they didn't stay married very long. When J R threw her out he gave her a package of pins and that was all she got!! Appears he might have been a bit upset! Keep warm--we may have flurries in the next day or so. Pat Foster
