Thanks again, Ellis, for posting all the obits! There is a William KAHLE mentioned as a brother to Donald D. KAYLE's obituary listed below. Wondering if anyone knows if this is the same William that married Virginia M. FOWLER, daughter of Fred Newton FOWLER (1888-1952) and Anna Elizabeth SNYDER (1887-1961). They lived in Clarion County. I have much on the SNYDER line, but collect information on any connections. I am always willing to share. Happy New Year! Bev in Calif.
