Dorothy just shared the following tidbit with me: Jan. 2 1889 - Nattie Harter of Greenfield and Dr. Virgil Ryan of Texas were married December 28th in Texas (Genealogical abstracts from the Lancaster (Ohio) Gazaette- Vol. III - 1885-1890 p. 52) Does anyone have any additional info on either Nattie or the doctor? I believe Nattie was the widow of Edson Harter who passed away 12 january 1885. (If someone has access to the Lancaster Gazette for the Jan 1885 time period - I would love to know if it contains an obit for Edson). I don't know Nattie's maiden name. Also - what is Nattie a nickname for - Natalie? Edson and Nattie had a son Claude - which would be one of the few male HARTERs. I would love to find out what happened to Claude. Sounds like he and his mother moved to Texas. But, where in Texas! Thanks for any ideas or help!! Linda Libician
