Hi, I am replying to Pearl via this email. I am interested in the letter that Betty Irwin Parker has from the Reep Family Association. In fact, I would like more information on contacting the Reep Family Association. I am related to the Reep family. I am almost sure that Betty Irwin Parker is in the Parker line also. Please email me with any nugget of information you have on these items I have listed. Thank you. James Wick Parker.

Jim: Good to hear from you of your interest in the Reep Family Association. Betty Irwin Parker was the secretary of the Reep Family Association and the letter was from her to Gladys Walley. I will be glad to mail you a copy if you send me privately your post office mailing address. She lived in Petrolia, Butler County, and her children still live in the same area. It would be wonderful if they would donate her wonderful research to a Historical Society so it would not be lost. In 2000, an obit of her brother," John R. Irwin"12/6/1925 9 11/2000 listed her as living in Florida and remarried. Her husband was Edward Joseph Parker 4 8 1917/6 15 1980...and her parents were David Conrad Irwin and Iola Ruth Reep. --- Jim Parker <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I am replying to Pearl via this email.
