Note: My uncle was a dairy farmer when he met and married my father's sister. He worked his father's farm on the west side of Springfield, Illinois. After the death of his wife, he had a falling out with his father and was kicked off the farm. At this time (July, 1996) I do not know what happened to him or where he is living.

The following is from his obituary:
