Aha.  Marcia Moore came through for us again.  I thought R.C. Pyles was right, but I was pretty young.  I do know that R. C. has passed away because I remember Trina talking about her bio dad dying.

Janet, I will give you a new wrinkle on the Wingraves, Melvins Mother was a sister to my wife's uncle.

Does your wife's uncle have a name or do you want to keep that a secret?

[frawin]

Janet, Melvin's mother was Lena Bohon and her brother Tom Bohon married Inez Buffalow a sister to George. Tom worked for the Frisco Railroad and lived in Severy at different times during the 30s, 40s, and until mid 1950's.

I remember the name Tom Bohon, but for the life of me can't put a face to the name.  Is that a sign of old age, or a busy, busy mind and just no room to think??
