<DIV>THanks Walt.</DIV>
<DIV>You know then I guess I do l;-)</DIV>
<DIV> I still have not got very many mile stone stories on my
family.</DIV>
<DIV>I think the ( duel) was the funniest thing I read, too bad it was on my
relation, possible my great grand father, yup only 1 great between me and 1843,
most of the other people I found is 4 , 5, and 6 greats in my family. One reason
I am searching so hard is because I think there are a few still alive and would
like to meet them. I found a few Coopers, Maupins and Matneys , looking
for a Penrose. Also looking for who ever IS decorating my Uncles grave Guy
Matney in the Independence Cemetery.</DIV>
<DIV> I am trying to save enough to cover 10 Matney graves
with permanent markers, seems they got left out, my Aunt who wanted this done
passed away a couple years ago at 90, I did get a taped visit with her.</DIV>
