Ben's g-Aunt, Sarah (Eliza) Ausmus is my ggg-grandmother on the Ellison side.
Ethel Francisco Sharp (a cousin to mother on the Keck side) was my fifth and sixth grade school teacher and lived two houses up the street. Ethel now lives with her daughter, Judy, in Middlesboro, Ky. Ethel's nephew lives across the street from me.
Glenna Isabelle Sharp Rogers and her Aunt, Edith Elizabeth Rogers Carr, were two of my High School teachers. Their Uncle, William H. (Harry Bill) Rogers, shoot and killed my g-grandfather, John F. Rogers, for killing his brother Jimmy (so the story goes).

Cousins,
We have lost another one of our elder relatives. I and my wife met her in the mid 90's and she pointed out where our ancestors were buried. She invited us into her home and shared her knowledge of some of our early ancestors. This very nice lady will be missed by many.
