In an effort to preserve some history of our ancestors I began to research starting with their graves and going back in time sorting through newspapers, census and many other records. A book began to evolve, however, I soon realized that the research and the history could go on forever so I ended the book. Maybe some day our descendants will be inclined to do more research. I hope all who read this book will enjoy it. Thanks so much! Betsy Wood (Elizabeth A Wood)
