!LETTER May 2
Dear Mary Lu,
Dad and his first wife, Tennessee had three children I believe. Only a son Edward was living when his and Mother were married.
He was the same age as my Mother and was gone from home, and I believe was married.
He didn't keep very close touch with Dad when we were growing up so I can't give you all the information about him.
I'll give you the address of his eldest daughter (Opal Burns Ironton, MO)
if you want to contact her. He has been deceased a long time.
Love, Grace
