REUION

Cousins, this is your pre-reunion homework assignment, learning about your Byrd relatives. Grandma Hill's brother Willis Byrd and his wife, Ada, moved to Talent from Oklahoma about 1926 or 1927. Only their youngest, Charlaine, was born in Talent, the rest born in Oklahoma. These people whom we probably knew when we were little, were Clarence, Elmer, Pauline, Neva, Curtis, Allen, Marna, and Charlaine. Elmer, age 97, Marna, age 86, and Charlaine, age 81 are still living, and have been contacted about the reunion. I have also contacted some of these Willis Byrd grandchildren. Elmer's girls: Bonnie McCormick and Dolly Rapp both from AshlandNeva's daughter: Betty Cooper in Klamath FallsAllen's wife and daughter, Julie Byrd and Judy Edwards from MedfordPauline Farmer's daughters: Delores Larsen (Prospect, OR) & Darlene Rosenbaum (Spring Creek NV)Marna's son: Jim Arnold from Reno - Marna also lives in RenoCurtis's kids: Donna Herrick from Fergus Falls, MN & Stanley Byrd from Blanding, UT. Curtis's widow, Opal Byrd, lives in TXCharlaine lives in Riverton, UT, and has a daughter, Marsha.Clarence had 6 kids - don't know their whereabouts. So, I know there are a million Byrds from Grandma's other siblings, but Willis lived in Talent and Ashland so these people have a connection to the area and us. It any are interested they can spread the word or contact us. Marna asked me to send the SAVE THE DATE to many of these people. Grandma's sister Lizzy's family have all been contacted (Fieguth's). Becky, were you going to contact Bob Byrd's family? I hope you are all paying attention. There will be a test on this material later on. Love Sue
