Martha, Florence is a descendant of Hugh JUNKINS. Her father, Hugh W. RAGER was son of Hugh RAGER & Mary DAUGHTERTY (who died in the horrible fire accident.) This Hugh was a son of George RAGER and Sarah JUNKINS, d/o of Hugh JUNKINS. Are you with me? With the naming traditions, both JUNKINS sisters (Agnes and Sarah) who married RAGER brothers (John & George) named a son Hugh after their father. The two Hugh RAGER grandsons of Hugh JUNKINS were first cousins, and very close in age. To complicate matters further, both married girls named Mary with similar last names. Hugh B. RAGER, son of Agnes, married Mary DONAHEY. Hugh RAGER, son of Sarah, married Mary DAUGHERTY. All of the research I have seen online combines the cousins into one Hugh. Anyway, the daughter of Florence & Lloyd died last year. Her obit: DIETZ - Lillian L., 91, Stonycreek Township, died May 28, 2006, at Select Specialty Care, Johnstown.
