Unfortunately, I also just learned that he died earlier this year. I was wondering if anyone that lives in Sidney knows his family so that I can express my condolences to them and do that terrible thing that researchers do...ask about any information he had that they would be willing to share with me. He sent my Mom a letter back in 1988 asking for information on our family. My 19 yoa brother had been killed the year before and my mother was pretty messed up and didn't respond. Last week she gave me the letter and I find that Mr. Van Horn has died. Some sort of message there. Any help would be appreciated with contacting his family. Thank you.
