JULY 21, 2008 - IT WAS GREAT MEETING YOU, YOUR MOTHER AND SEEING UNCLE JUSTIN AGAIN!

I hope Justin, your mother and you enjoyed the Reunion. We tend to be very loud but affectionate!

I'm sure you didn't get much information.

I did have a chance to look through the generation family sheets. Someone has crossed off Katherine's middle name and put down Louise - I've always heard it was Ann - so I'm a little confused. Would you happen to have documentation regarding her actual middle name. Also, Ira's first wife - I was always told that it was Julia Brewer and here again the last name was
crossed off and Colburn put down.

We did enjoy the reunion. Justin knew many of the people and my mother mostly remembered Bill & Georgie Seeley, John and Margaret Thompson during her childhood. They use to visit George and Emaline and my grandparents Barney and Dorotha. My grandparents and great grandparents had lived next door to each other.

I found Georgie to be very helpful and she remembered a lot. She was telling use a few stories of my great grandparents. I was surprised to see how active she was for her age. She invited Justin and me to visit her house to go through the pictures in the next few months.

I do not know Kate's middle name. I have a picture of her grave marker that has her middle initial. I will send you the pictures. I took many photos of Fox Hill Cemetery of the Heath Family members. We had my grandmother interred this past weekend also.

I never knew Ira Seeley had a first wife until you told me. Did she die young or were they divorced? Was there any children from this marriage?

I will try and follow up with the cemetery and church in Ballard Co., Kentucky that has a lot of Mayberry family members. Hopefully there will be a volunteer that has old records.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the Reunion. I'm pleased that Aunt Georgie extended an invite to you and Justin to look for pictures.

He was married before and I'm assuming that he was divorced -- but have never found any documentation for such.

I did notice that there is an ancestry.com member that has a database with George and Emaline Heath listed. I believe he is from Olean but I didn't immediately see the connection.
