Pokin' Around for Family News

A few days before, I double-checked (mama's memory is great) and we chatted about Lemuel, her older brother. She recalled Clara Kirksey - his wife, who (after his death) had remarried a Jeremiah or Elijah ooohhh....

so I took to the Lima Ohio telephone directory, called, she answered and we had a really nice visit.,,,saying she was 88 years old, had heart surgery a while back but was feeling fine. Welcome to come and visit any time. Took her address information.
