My brother's son Brandon was surfuring the web and found your entry. My father was James Albert Mathenia - your father's brother. I have been trying to research the Mathenia name but have not gotten very far either. My Aunt Tommie who lives in Steele Mo got me the name of one of the relatives. I believe her name is Earlene who still lives in Steele but I have not contacted her yet. According to Katie, Buster had 14 Siblings. She could only remember a few - James, Tom, Luther, Aunt Babe, and an Aunt Dollie Ledford. I'm heading back to Memphis tomorrow for an Uncle's furneral but will be back next week. Please send me an email at ikem@erols.com and tell me about your family. I have not seen any of you since Dad's furneral over 30 years ago.
