Eldora Larson, Hudson, WI [email protected] Hi Eldora, Welcome to the list! I hope you will find it to be helpful to you. I am the listowner, so if you have any questions or comments concerning this list, please let me know. Thanks for posting this query too. I took a look in "The Rivers Flow On" by Lois Barland, and although I didn't find anything on David or Elizabeth, I did find this short paragraph on Charles Samuels and his twin sons, taken from page 450: Charles Samuels was in the ticket office of the old Wisconsin Central railroad and later with the Soo line. He had two sons, Homer and Harvey, twins. Both were musical and when the family moved to Minneapolis the boys made their first public appearance at Lake Harriet while still in grade school. They played in Donaldson's tea room. Harvey was a find cellist and became a leading dentist in Minneapolis. Homer trained in Berlin and became Fritz Kreisler's accompaniest until WWI. He became the accompaniest of Galli-Curci and the couple were married at the Samuel home in 1921 with Alma Gluck the only guest. I hope this will be a little help to you in your quest. Also, you may want to place a query on our query board located at: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire. You might get good results from it!
