Thanks for fleshing out the tale Gary. The more one knows the more the interest quickens.
Dana's sister Nellie, the youngest in the family, was the mother of Carl Mills and myself. She was born in 1900 and voted in 1920, the first time women could vote.
My granddaughter, Julia (now 7) was named for my grandmother McGill. Julia Custer McGill was born in 1860 and remembered the men returning from the Civil War.
