Ed: Thanks for the obit! One of the honorary "bearers" was George F. Davenport, a gguncle! It's so good to be able to put him in some context in the community. Now I'll look more carefully when I see the other names, hoping that a Davenport may be lurking among them. And thanks for the Second Souvenir as well! See what happens when we all help each other! 8-) Linda in Utah Edward Sinker wrote: > I was pleased to see my great-great uncle listed > as one of the recipients of the 300 copies of > Second Souvenir distributed by Francis C.
