Thanks for this, Jack. The Simpson news for MUNCY gave me a close date for the death of Rachel Hester MUNCY b: 1907, who was Mrs. Will AUSTIN. She must have died in childbirth, as I have a son Arvel AUSTIN listed with no dates. It appears that she was only 17 when she died. Her parents were Joseph Kyle and Cora Alice (LIGHT) MUNCY. All I had was bef. 01 Mar 1957 when her brother, Roger Willard (Roby) MUNCY died. Thanks again, Jimmy M.
