FYI, they disowned my grandmother, Effie Powell, for marrying my grandfather. As I understand it, she married beneath her as my grandfather was both German and a soldier in the U.S. Army Calvarly. Joseph was a Pharmacist. Hope this infor is of interest to you. Fred Schick Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
