This came thru with some of my genealogy emails. I listen to the names some of the children have these days and wonder where in the world their parents got them. Guess times haven't changed. The following is from a 1913 obituaary. Then I wake up and remember my daughter's children's names are Shadd and Shauna. My son's names were Jarrod and Gavin. God I am really getting old aen't I. Have a nice day. Besides his widow, Mrs. Daisy SILVEY, these children, all living in this city, survive: LeCroye, Urdel and Challis SILVEY and Mrs. R. R. RUSSELL. ======================================================
