640 Immediately to the left of Martha Ann's grave is an unmarked or empty spot. To the left of that empty spot are the graves of two infants born to Martha's daughter Johncy Helen.

"to me, Verla is so nice and I love to be around her, when I am around her she seems to make everything better somehow" 
Donovan, Verla Marcine (I267)
 
643 In a letter she wrote to Mack Price and family, she noted a kindness once paid to her:

I also remember staying a bit with your folks when you were about aa yr. old in Canyon, Tex. That was a very trying time for me - my first marriage was breaking up - and your Mother & Dad were so very kind to me. I'll never forget their help. Pretty nice folks you know.

Lucille wrote this in 1976, after having had 2 strokes, sustaining damage to her right side. She apologizes for bad penmanship, and laziness in spelling - in fact the letter was quite legible and the spelling was fine. Just from reading the letter I got the impression of a modest, gracious, and inquisitive person.

She indicated that she was doing some genealogical research into her father's family, the Kroekers, and having quite a good challenge with it! 
Kroeker, Helen Lucille (I251)
 
644 In addition to the three children here shown, he had one additional daughter and two additional children of unknown gender. The mothers of those children are not known. There is another note, written by Debbie Price, that the first child died in infancy and was a girl, the second child died at age 1 or 2, of poison. This doesn't match with the gender and order of children. Roberson, John Luther (I425)
 
645 In April 1978, Sydney Fisher initiated contact with his distant cousin, Tom Chamberlain. These letters contained a wealth of information that Mr. Fisher had found on our common ancestors.

The letters are attached, and the information contained therein has been distributed throughout these files.
