Generation: 1

    Notes:

    "I found newspaper articles reporting that W. L. had been responsible for burning at least 10 houses down in his block because he was drunk and tipped over a gas lantern; also later on tampered with the gas meter at another house and was jailed according to the 1930 census. It was embarrassing to read this. It must have been embarassing for Earl as well, because I never heard anything about his relatives except for his brother Virgil. Oh well. Earl was very cool. Quiet and hardworking when I knew him. A very nice man." -Joyce Conners
