Hi Jerry, I just got back on line and seen this obit of Raymond Bain b. 1912 and he is one of my extended family member's, his grandparents Levi Peter and Harriet (Linville) Bain is my grandfather's brother (Robert David Bain). I would like the Obituary of all concerned if it isn't to much to ask, would sure appreciate it. Also if you have an Obituary of Cyrenus BAIN, d. 1915 and his wife Armina COX/BAIN, d. 1906, would be great.
