That's some good stuff you have there. Bennie Merritt, who was Calista Hooks' father, ws also Uncle Loyd's son-in-law. Have his obit that I picked up from the Shiver files in Albany library. Have something somewhere about the Williams-Shiver connection. Was El the husband of Mabel. Is he the one who ran the store in Camilla? After all these years my mind can't keep all the Shivers straight.
