Debbie, thanks for letting us know about John Overholt and including the obituary. John was a charter subscriber to this list and we've missed his contributions since he unsubscribed over a year ago. Judith Werner Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Administrator, OLD-ENGLISH http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/ | I was saddened to read in "The Times" yesterday of the death of John | Overholt. Many of you will remember him as an active contributor to this list in the | past. He had been ill for some time but always maintained an active interest | in the BLUETT family history. John's mother was descended from the BLUETTS | of Holcombe Rogus, Devon. He developed an interest in his family history when | his mother died and he inherited a large collection of BLUETT family papers | including a manuscript history of the BLUETT family. | The obituary in "The Times" reads as follows: | OVERHOLT After a long illness, John Arthur Mostyn died peacefully at home on | 26th October, aged 72. Loving husband and father to Sheila, Louise and | Caroline, John was a very proud Papa to Tiggy, Scarlett and Archie and good friend | to many. The funeral is on Friday November 3rd at 12.20 at Putney Vale | Crematorium. Family flowers only please. Donations, if desired, to the Princess | Alice Hospice, Esher, c/o Garner's, 1 & 2 Wolverton House, Wolverton Avenue, | Kingston, KT2 7QE. | Debbie Kennett
