Polly Ann WEBSTER - is my 3rd great-grandaunt. According to family documents, she was born on 15 September 1830 in Michigan and died on 12 March 1910 in Michigan. I actually have a letter somewhere written by her (to her sister Sarah, I think, can't remember for sure) that I hope to transcribed sometime soon.
John Francis CAHILL - My paternal grandfather, John, was born on 12 June 1922 in Aurora, Illinois. He died when I was seven-years-old on September 16, 1984. Much of my research lately has been focused on him and his time in WWII. [1]
Charles STOFFEL - According to my grandmother's handwritten notes, Charles, my great-great-grandfather was born on 16 September 1855 in Frankfort, Germany.
Elmer W F TRAPP - Elmer was my 2nd cousin twice removed. He was born on 7 August 1919 in Cook County, Illinois. He died on 17 September 1968. [2]
James Norton GARRISON - According to family documents, my great-granduncle, James, was born on 19 September 1895 in Canada.
Clarence L ROTTMAN - Clarence is my 1st cousin twice removed. He was born on 20 September 1896 in Iowa. He was 89 years-young when he died on 6 November 1985 in Iowa. [3]
Ethel Mary ROTTMAN & George W COSTER - Ethel was my 1st cousin twice removed. She married George on 21 September 1920 in Iowa. [4] Oddly enough, Ethel was the sister of Clarence (above), who married Margaret Alma COSTER, George's sister.
