=======================================================
Some of my thoughts: Research

  =======================================================
I don't remember meeting my Uncle Junior.

He became a  Pastor/ Elder after his first wife, Lottie passed in 1961.

 

===========

Uncle Pierson passed on 20 years before I was born.
He was ordain as a reverend in 1939.

 

===============================================
I remember Aunt Mary.

She was a small woman. 

She was baked a lot.
We loved her cookies.

Aunt Mary sung in the church choir .

 There are so much that we don't know about our relatives.

I hope to make more discoveries.

Thanks for reading.
