FAMILY NOTES:Uncle Bun bought his father's farm after he passed away and is still in the family.

Uncle Lester Hunt was a sheriff for Fayette County and he and his brother owned a barber shop in Connersville

Uncle Ralph's motorcycle had killed it's previous owner.  Aunt Bernice sold the motorcycle and the new owner was also killed on it but this time the accident destroyed the bike.

Aunt Sissy and Aunt Emmy never married but took care of their father after their mother's death.  When Uncle Bun bought the farm my Aunts moved to Connersville for the remainder of their lives.  Aunt Emmy made the best home made noodles and no one has topped her since.

My grandpa is the last of the siblings living so his information will not be posted. However he has been a tremendous help with family stories and facts.  Thank you g-pa for all the stories and love of family you have given to all of us.
