Does Lida Pyles husband belong to this family tree? She was a writer/speaker of folklore, and when my Uncle Rufus Bowen was stabbed, he was taken to her home. She went to church where my grandfather was a circuit preacher. (Buried in Beaver Cem. Close to my uncle. ) I talked with her for several hours and she was delightful.I also own one of her books.
