Hello Fellow Listmembers: I'm looking for the name of a gentleman who was a Deputy Sheriff for either Van Buren or Warren County in Dec. 1979 - Jan. 1980. It is possible he was not serving in this capacity during the above timeframe, but did so in the few years prior to this. He visited my grandfather in the hospital around Jan 1980 just prior to his death. The gentleman I'm interested in was named Elijah... his last name unknown. The information I have also states that Elijah was in ill health himself when he visited my grandfather, so he may not be alive today. My grandfather, the information says, made a "death bed" admission that he was Elijah's father. My grandfather fathered Elijah before he met and married my grandmother. Elijah is therefore my father's half-brother! If anyone has any information about Elijah... or any ideas how/where I might find info on Deputy Sheriffs for Warren/Van Buren County during this time frame please reply. Linda Farmer: if you are still on the list and see this... can you help me once more? :-) Thanks in Advance, Gary in Oregon e-Mail: Old_Salt@comcast.net
