  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./ Part of e-mail from Vera VanWagoner on 4/13/02 in response to Jo-Anne Beekx (Melmer) contact w/RAM

      My thanks to Jo-Anne who just gave us news of family that is very important to me. Cecil's brother, Russell, was my mother's first cousin and they were very close. John Melmer, (father of Cecil, Russell, Ida and Dora) was my grandmother Grace Melmer's brother and as brother and sister they were very close. John Melmer and wife Mary invited his sister Grace and her daughter (my mother, Ruth) to spend a winter with them in Florida. When Grace Melmer came to Michigan to live, whenever she went back to Canada to visit which was quite often, she most always stayed with her brother Jack and his wife Mary. Russell said when he would come home at night, he always knew when Aunt Grace was visiting as he could hear her snoring.
