Patt I came accross a couple of articles that may pertain to your JOY line. The articles are about the "Old Settlers" of Salem, Henry Co, Ia. in the late 1800s. There may be more articles than the two I have. The 2 addresses for them are: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ia/henry/history/oldset.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ia/henry/history/oldset2.txt you may find other leads to your JOYs there also. Good luck Ron Garmoe
