Hi, I thought I might add a bit of information to this as this is my direct line on my fathers side. We have been to Wilbur it is about four hours from where we live and I have photos of the headstones, besides clippings and information from the genealogy library there. If anyone is interested e-mail me and I gladly share any other information that I have on these indivduals There is a cousin that is working on a book on decendents of Orsamus Holmes and would welcome more information on these lines. The names in bold print indicate my direct line.
