   About Me; Author, Genealogy Researcher & Book Critic      
  Saving the Postle(s) Cemetery became a quest upon learning of its eventual fate during the 1980's.  By generating interest and supporters to be on-site representatives (to name a few) such as Art Funk (deceased) of Westland Industries, etc., and now, Mrs. Linda Walker -- together we are realizing our ultimate goal of saving a historical plot of holy ground containing the final resting places of 263+ individuals (only a few identified) that included the graves of Shawnee Indians befriended by the Shadrach Postles family.

LITERARY CAREER
As an employee of Nationwide Ins. Co., Cols., OH in the early 1950's; submitted articles of social interest were accepted and published in the weekly newspaper.  Further, writing detailed instructional job related manuals became a secondary practice to position held.
 
       
             
  My Info: Name: Joanne (aka Jo, Josie & Aunt Jo) Email: JVTh007@aol.com A genealogy research passion that unearthed some interesting ancestors began a turn of events; in that instead of ignoring them (in cases of questionable character) true life stories are telling of their escapades through history.  Current book in the works: "Rev. John Willey's 1759 Unintentional Contribution To History" -- that also corrects some published accounts.
