Raymond Epling died at his home May 21, 2004. He was 83 years old.

A longtime resident of Winters, he was born in Belcher, Ky., on Sept. 24, 1920,

He served in the Army Air Corps from 1942 through 1947, which included service

the Air Force from 1947 to 1963. Upon retirement, he came to Winters and taught
junior high school until his retirement in 1987.

After retiring from teaching, he engaged himself in genealogical research and
compiled an account of his life's experiences. He was active in team athletics
in high school, college and the military. His hobbies and interests included the
study of history, the study of the Bible and genealogical research.

He was preceded in death by his parents and 17 siblings. He is survived by his
