Sally,
My name is Julie Tatum and Thurl and Nadine (Zelpha) were my grandparents. My Grandmother never went by Zelpha she hated that name. She always went by Nadine. I have the obituary for my Grandma but my Grandpa did not want anything done for him.
They had 6 children including my Dad. I am the youngest daughter from their oldest son Kenneth Louis Snider. I have the full names and the birth year for all of the kids. Their are only two still living. I do not have some of the exact days they passed.

I see you have an article about my Great Grandmothers Mother. I have always have had questions but no one ever spoke about it. That would be great if I can get a copy. I can give you more info on the rest of the family if you would like to email me at

Thanks Julie
