 General Notes:
A lot of the genealogy information on these families came from Maude. The information from Dorothy Davis has a statement that Maude was very helpful when we started this genealogy in 1965. Her mind was very sharp at that time and she lived with her son Cloyd in Victor, Iowa. We received a copy of a book that Maude kept with information on the various marriages, births and deaths of the family.
I have just received a copy of the journal that Maude kept from Sherry Bonduau. I will be adding and correcting information from this into the family file. 4 May 4 2002. Sherry writes; "Enclosed is the information I mentioned to you in my e-mail. The journal was written and given to my grandmother, Hazel Lyman Dolmage by Maude Keysor Lyman."
