Ok, Larry and all, this obit indicates that Joseph Showers, son of John I Bloom & Mary Frantz wife was a McHenry instead of McKendrick, so who was the Joseph who married the McKendrick? By the way, Larry, thanks for clearing up, with middle names, at least two of my Josephs. When we finish with the Josephs should we start on the Johns or perhaps the Mary's now that would be a challenge.
