Notes for Loyd Earl (Spouse 1)
When my Dad retired from Caterpillar around 1969 (he had been a farmer until around 1950), he decided to work on genealogy. I would go to libraries with him when my children were in school. He passed away in 1980 and I kept all his records. We started having the reunions in 1981 so have pictures & records from all the reunions. We have been in touch with descendants of Milton’s sons Simeon (Rachel is mother), Colby, Thomas & Fanny (mother is Permilia). I have military records for Braxton & Simeon and Milton Parker & William Riley (Mother is Permilia).
