He has been very helpful with this family line and has allowed me to transcribe the birth, marriage and death information that is in the Bibles of his parents, Emma A. (Mead) and Charles J. Hoffman, and his grandmother Christina (Raisley) Hoffman. He also barrowed the Family Bible of his Uncle, Marion, and Aunt, Zuba (Hoyt) Mead, and allowed me to transcribe this information also. These are wonderful "old" family artifacts and I wish all to know how much I appreciate his letting me look at them.
