Hello Spencer,
Thanks for the reply. I guess we are first cousins! I've been in contact with my aunts in Pachuta (we went for a short visit earlier this year). Unfortunately it does not seem to be a lot known about our grandfather. I did visit the family cemetery for the first time during Uncle Seth's burial and that was a real eye opener. If you care to stay in contact, I can be reached at
ets@umsl.edu.
Hope all is well,
Jackie
