She is the daughter of Ira S. and granddaughter of Wilburn. Give me a little time and I can help you. I am on the Karraker spelling at current time. There is an excellent book at the court house that will help you to get started, composed by Mary Sue Beis and assisted by Janet Thies. But I do not know what year the copywrite is. sjp
