Thanks for sharing that, Jacque. I will pass that along to his ggranddaughter. William S Eberly was my ggrandpa John Cox's cousin. John was a farmer in Wood Co and John's wife Naomi's diaries from May 14, 1918 "Wm Eberly & wife took us for a nice ride. he & Pa got out to look round in a woods for muskrooms & a man ordered them out." William was 81 then. John was 65. There were other mentions of their visits for quite a few more years, so William enjoyed quite good health.
