Jack, This is so funny. I think the connections never cease. In the process of doing the book I'm working on for southern Cleveland County, OK I have found your Hills and the Avants who were your great grandmother's parents. But this is what is funny. Your grandmother had a sister Ora who married Delmer Couch (we always called him "Shorty"). His father was a Baptist Preacher who married my grandparents, Ed Loveless and Vestes Meltabarger and in later life rented a little house from my grandparents. But that isn't all. Delmer "Shorty" Couch had a sister Estalene who married a guy by the name of Ober Shobert. They had a granddaughter Tamra Renea "Tammy" who married Ed and Vestes's g grandson, Gregory Thomas Loveless. The Hills and Avants lived around a community called Etowah which is about 2 miles north and a little bit east of where your grandparents had their farm. Like your family, a lot of them left this area, but there are still a few around here. Lou Ann
