Sept 28 1998 6:30 P.M. CDT Reba- My gggfather George Shaffer ;ived in Waynesville Illinois. He died there in 1894. >From his obit I learned thathe had brothers who all lived in Fulton, Kansas. One of those brothers was named John-the others W.W. & Ed.My grandmother Belle Wilson was the grandaughter of George. Since the town of Mapleton, Ks is 6 or 8 miles from Fulton , I'm hoping for a connection. I have quite a lot of info on the Shaffers who lived in Fulton, but have run into a brick wall gettng much on George and his wife Catherine. Will be glad to exchange info with you. Mary Lamb
