Sharon, This is really mind-bogglin There are so many simularities in our family and us never knowing each other. (1) We lived in Adrian and Morenci Michigan from 1948 till 1952-53 had no idea some of Mothers relatives were next door. I now can remember Mother saying, (when I was inquiring about this Andrew) he left S.P. and no one ever heard from him again. this explains it, I just can't wait to tell her, she is 84 years old and spry as a spring chicken. (2) I named my daughter Melinda, my son Christopher, just so many of these names fall right back into the family. (3) I also have a host of relatives buried at the Lyons Cemetery (mostly HALLS) my Dads side. (4) I still have some relatives living in Toledo, Ohio. A Bea Onstead (don't remember what her husbands last name was.) and some Halls. I'll send you another family or two today. I would love to have a copy of that picture. My address: Joyce Comer 428 Los Corner Rd. Morganton, N.C. (this is still very near Spruce Pine, 40 miles) and I was raised in S.P.) 28655 828-433-0938 Sharon Lawson wrote: > Posted on: Avery Co.
