    3. This is certainly of interest to me, Doris. The unnamed children you speak of are my aunts and uncles. > >........................................................................... ....................

If this letter was written Thursday, February 25, 1892, There were apparently three unnamed children; namely, Joe (b. 1886), Hosie (b. 1888), and Ora (b. 1890). The children named above: Dave (b. 1878), Homer (b. 1880), Cora (b. 1882), and Willis (b. 1884) were all born before 1885, thus would have been more than 7 years old in 1892. Even Ora (Auntie to me), who married Ed Skinner, would have been more than a year old. Aunt Flora was apparently not born yet, as she didn't come along until 1893. Thanks for posting this. I appreciate it very much. Jack Landers
