Shook being a sister of Mr.. Camp
bell. John and Mamie returned to
Kansas after a few years, but Re-
becca continued to reside with her
uncle and aunt until her marriage.
When we were in Kansas in 1904,
John was in the standing army;
whether he ever got TO have a part
in any fighting we never knew.
But we are sure of one thing if he
did not "Go over the top it was
because there was no top to go
over. Mamie was not at home, but
they told us she was the prettiest
girl in that country round about
yes, | think ! will so on we are sure
she is a charming young widow
and we were about to suggest that
she visit Ohio again, but it might be
well for her to wait until we finish
our story, as we wouldn't want to
chronicle the death of some bach
! heart
BY a letter received today from
! Mrs. Donmyer, she says. "In send
! ing in the Delaney history, ! Won
! der if | mentioned the infant, Lu-
/ cester, seems | mentioned him, as
an infant unnamed. If so, and you
/ haven't already the history in print
will you please correct it if name is
not mentioned. His birth was be-
| tween Sheridans and Elizabeth
about 1916" At the rate the limo
type man is working on our manu-
script, we haven't time to re-read,
| and anyway that's the proof read
! er's job, and we would not want to
| knowingly knock anyone out of
job.
Since quoting from Mrs. DON
myers letter, we find the VIM. De-
laney section which reads as fol-
lows: VIM. Delaney born March II,
1920, was killed by falling tree.
