Hello list, My mother sent me the following obituary of Rose Mary Carter-- the funeral was last week. I don't know if we're connected or not, but our family name is Powell and there are some Powell siblings listed for her (perhaps step-siblings). Does anyone recognize them, or have more information? My Powells are from Mercer Co (migrated from Ohio via Iowa ca. 1850s)., but there are a couple of different Powell families in Mercer and Putnam Cos. Of course, they might be cousins to each other, but I don't know yet. I would love to make a connection with someone out there. Thanks in advance, Robert J.
