Over time they acquired a large number of siblings that had been placed in homes through out the state. Most of the boys at one time or another worked for my dad so I got to know the family alittle. Now the youngest has asked me to help him find his "family". Andy is the youngest of them all and remembers some, but his older brother added to this what he knew. I have sent letters out to the others to see what they can remember. I know it is along shot but I couldn't say no so here goes. His mother was Edna May Bowers and he thinks she was from around Spencer WV. She married a Ellington who they think was born in Ohio and died around 1974-1975 (the oldest brother was in the service at the time so we know a approximate date) After the Ellington died she married a Charles Bailey of the Spencer area. He said he remembers his grandparents names were Peter & Ellen Purcell of Moundsville WV. He believes Bertha died in Ellenville NY and she had a sister named Carrie. You have to realize I am working of a memory of a 7 year old. While I research the "Bauer" line I am not up on the Bower's in the area. Any help is appreciated. Oh yeah Andy is either 40 or close to it. I forgot to ask his age and since I am doing this by snail mail I thought I would post with what I have.
