Do you have any more information on the PETTIT family living in Hutchinson, KS. If so I would be very interested in hearing from you. Before she was adopted by the DEAHL family, my g-grandmother's name was Iva Mae PETTIT. Although born in Iowa, my g-granmother Iva died in Hutchinson, KS and was married to a Mr. Robert Otis BROWN who owned a number of jewlry stores in the Kansas area.
