Hi! It has been so long since I put this on I had forgotten about it. My mother Ethel Blanch Graeff (Murdock) is 92 dob 9-16-16 her father I believe is Porter. I have lost infor I had stored in my last computer-the board crashed. I believe I have it writen in a journal buried somewhere.
Mom is not able the give us info anymore-stroke,
but wanted to find relatives at one time.. Just going from what I CAN REMEMBER-If it is right -- When we went through moms papers we saved letters stating he died from blood poisoning from a broken leg caused by a horse accident? I don't have time today to find where I put those letters to be sure is correct, but wanted to let you know I am so excited to get your note. Moms mothers name was Ester Harrison. My understanding is that they were only together for a short time in Western Ks. Mother the only resulting child from that union. Moms 2 marriages resulted in 3 childern -Delbert(Bert), Elizabeth (Betty)and myself-Susan all still living. Very interested in learning more and finding relatives. Susan Schmidt
