I would like to thank every one who has sent all the Finnerty information, Grama always said he died in that explosion, but it appears he did not. Wonder if Thomas was his father?? I've got to do some hunting today or after Fay passes over me. Weather has been pretty nasty here. I have another question has any one heard of the Casper Family in the Cleveland area. this is another line we have been totally kept in the dark about. I have them in then census, and John H. Casper 2ND marriage, as he was 1st married to Nina Perkins the lady listed in John L. Finnerty obit. The Casper family was in the Cleveland Area from about 1870 right up to 1920. James Casper m Ruth Nichols in 1928 they have 3 children who would like to find another Casper relative Thank you Again Christy Hodges Smith
