The person I finally found who was related to Mary Katharine was a man from Utah named Bill Deardorff. We sent all of Mary's photos and personal belongings to Bill a few years ago. He was thrilled to receive them as his father was a brother to Mary's Dad and the family had lost contact. He found photos of himself, his parents, and grandparents among the pictures. I don't know if any of the Countrymans in your area are related, but there is a good chance because that was where Mary grew up and worked as an adult. If you know any of that family, please let them know where her belongings went. I think Bill's dad was the brother who was a physician. Not positive, though. I only knew Mary though the church in the Olympia area where my husband was an associate pastor and no one knew of any survivors of Mary when she died, so we ended up with a few of her things, including her hope chest filled with treasures: letters, photos, a book of family history written for family reunions, etc. We sent the hope chest contents to Bill. Thanks again. Sincerely, Arlee Volz
