Originally from Indianapolis--with relatives in Portland, Hartford City, Dunkirk, Redkey etc...This would be the Pascall-Shwier-Wise-Flynn? line. My great-aunt Gwen and her husband Charles Harper lived in Redkey for a number of years. Her father, Grover T. Pascall lived in Dunkirk, but when he got older he went to live with them in Redkey. He is supposed to be in the Redkey cemetary (?) He is not buried on the Dunkirk I.O.O.F cemetary with some of the others. I know what you mean about not having any family members alive to help. Most of my family is gone, has been for years. Well, perhaps we are cousins. :) Perhaps we can help each other. MHurst
