You found her. I'm Martha Stearns. But...I'll be darned if I can find out who my relatives were. Again...my Dad was Oliver Benton Stearns II, so my Grandfather was Oliver Benton Stearns I, who apparently hung himself in the Cheyenne, WY jail. He is buried in Cheyenne. He was married to Margaret Louise Stearns who is buried in Missoula, Montana. If anyone can tell me anything more..let me know, please! :) Thanks!
