John, I am still around but have been very busy with family. Dau and Son-in-law (and 3 g-kids) lived with us for 3 1/2 months while waiting for house to be completed. They moved in this last weekend and I can't believe how nice and quiet it is. I am trying to get my act back together. Yes, I have had trouble tieing into all these Behymers. My g-gfather James M. Behymer was born 1847 in Ohio. His wife was Edith (Eda) Oswald (or Oswalt). They married 06 sep 1868 in Mercer Co., Ohio.
