Esta, Thank you so much! I wish I did have a copy of this book. Is it still in print? I would love to have a copy of the book. I have been searching for well over a year for Samuel Marion West and Mollie Starnes. Your Charles W. Starnes must be related. Starnes is not a common name like West. Everyone in my family is named James West, it seems. Esta, thanks again.
