I know that he was alot older than my Grandmother. He died before I was born so I have only heard stories about him. My oldest sister Shirley is the one who told me about his story of the Donner Party. I have a Aunt that might have a picture of him, since she has kept pictures of the family. I have several pictures of my grandmother. I was told that alot of the family pictures were burned in a fire when the shed caught on fire. I would love to share information.
