When their farm sold, they and Hoddy's daughter Mary Lou moved to Florida. Since then both Don and Hoddy have died and are buried in Union Grove Cemetery, Canal Winchester, Ohio. Several additions were added to the log cabin through the years. Hoddy ran a beauty shop in the addition immediately behind the log cabin, and later was joined by Don and Hoddy's daughter, Shirley, in running the beauty shop. The log cabin faced Diley Road, west of Busey Road. Don's parents were Henry, Jr and Ruth Burgoon Root. Siblings of Don were Williard, Samuel, and John. Henry Sr. parents migrated from Maryland. Henry Sr. children were Emma, Charles, James, John Alva, and Henry Jr. I don't believe this was the Root homeplace because as a young family, Henry Jr and Ruth lived in Pickerington with Henry Sr. and Matilda Root on the farm that later Williard Root plotted in the Root Addition to Pickerington. Hope this helps. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
