Ellen, Which one was your notorious uncle? Did I miss something here? Not sure which of the 'gentlemen' you are referring to. Murder/homicide in a family sounds exciting...it it didn't happen in one's own family. When I first heard about my great- aunt's son, Elmer Runge, I thought...."Wow! A gangland murder in the family!!" But then, remembering Gr-Aunt Nell, and how it must have affected her.....(my youngest son is 26, and I know how I'd feel if it were to happen to him).....this made me realize that it is still a tragedy.......no matter how many generations removed from it we are. It DOES make the gen report look a little more....er, interesting, shall we say? Love and light to you, Diane Ellen <enalibof@netscape.net> wrote: My notorious uncle's shooting and subsequent death were covered by the Globe-Democrat and the Post Dispatch. You know the date of his death so begin reading microfilm of the newspapers. If you are out of town, try the Reference Department of the St Louis Public Library for photocopies. His death certificate was stamped "HOMICIDE." Ellen --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software
