Gosh, Mary Beth, you are soooooooooo organized with your genealogy charts. I have all these file folders with surnames and they are full of info. BTW, are you related to Dave Werts??? Another question -- you have Ethel May Werts married to Ray Chambers... Do you know who Ray Chambers might have been related to? There was Columbus Chambers in Chariton (I know very little about him, just that he was an uncle to my g grandmother, Annie (Chambers) Crabb. I've found a couple of articles in the Leader about Columbus and some of his family in Bussey and Melrose..
