I believe Loretta and Guy Boeche are probably related also as memory serves me dads siblings were Leo, Doris, Guy and Eva. There parents were Louis and Mary Ann? Uhl Boeche of Mapleton IA.
Leonards mother died at birth or shortly after and Louis and Mary took him in and adopted him as an infant. His birth parents were John Meyer Sr. and Olive Cook Meyer.
It would be a pleasure to here from you and hopefully meet you or talk with you. My wife Linda and I run RIVERBEND CAMPGROUND in Noblesville IN - 317-773-3333.
I also have several pictures and family history from mid 1800's but not much from preimagration.
