The above script had been prepaired and was given to me (Lee) whenIvisited my sister Nadine and her husband Arvil Skaggs in August Ithink,of 1995 at their home in the beautiful Missouri Hills nearDixon.. Their local genealogical society was making a booklet, as Iunderstand,and this was their contribution. Arvil said I could use itand we hope itwill be of some help to other rooters. I have merelyconverted the textto HTML and added this note and a title.
