Yes you are a part of my family!!!! My father was Orville Nathaniel the baby of Henerietta (Retta) & Perrian Spiller Cox. I have been searching for years to find relatives of the Gentzler side, but was hitting brick walls everywhere, then suddenly I am getting in touch with some of the cousins. Grandma was the oldest of her father's children, then Nathan. Their mother was Lyda (varied spelling:Lida/ Lydia/Lidia) don't know for sure which spelling is correct. She passed away at age 23, then he married Emma Werner & had 11 more children. They are buried in the old City Cemetery in Liberal, Ks. On their headstone is this inscription: Gentzler (in the center), on the left side is : Jacob 1844-1932 Right side: Emma 1862-1933 Between the dates are the square & compasses on Gr.Grndpa's & on Gr.Grandma's there is an Order of the Eastern Star emblem.
