A bit of an irony as she passed away a few months later. Anyway here is an excerpt;</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">"I am interested in this as I am hoping to track
down something on it in the paper. If indeed he did drown, that is an oft
repeated theme in our family and I find it curious I don't remember his having
done so as I knew the gentleman slightly. He was a
somewhat scandalous fellow as he had a live in housekeeper.

The only reason I know that is I have the manifest, to the best of my knowledge he was never mentioned and I had extensive conversations with the wife of the youngest child of that family when we were taking care of her and Carl never came up.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Anyway the point of this is I did find out that Henry did NOT drown but died of a protracted illness in a Roseburg Rest Home. Ironically I later did some work on Henry and made a comment on his page completely ignoring what you folks had found for me, even though the information about his death came from here??</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Also someone had sent me a RG item about his nephew's body being found and that was one of the things I had been searching for that led me to Barney's (Henry) item.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Sometimes I think I go too far; my research led me to an uncle of Henry's who might actually have descendants in Germany still, wouldn't that be a kick in the pants if one one of them contacts my son to find out how they shared DNA.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA"><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Leslie Chapman</span></span></div></div></body></html>
