The four living are Mrs. Brad Orman, Mrs. J. M. Boothe, John H. and Joseph M. Zenor. Daniel Zenor was an honest, upright citizen, and his funeral was largely attended.

Probably an interesting life we’d like to know more about. I love the Biblical flavor of the writing:
“There were born unto them 8 children.”
Don’t you Love the detail in old obits?! And the kicker at the end…his funeral was well attended!
Elizabeth Leonard made me jump a little…I had an Aunt Lizzy…but she was only a Leonard after marriage, about a hundred years after yours 🙂
Here’s to hoping all our relatives are gathered around us today, smiling at what we do, and proud of those we’re seated with
Happy Thanksgiving!
