							Fri Eve
							Peebles, Ohio
	Dear Cousin,
		Am Sorry that I neglected writing you.  But I don't have 
Lucille Williams address yet.  But she is Bessie Chenowit' daughter.  and David 
Freeze is her grandfather.  Bessies dad.
		But Caroline lived & died in their home.  Lucille said she 
could remember when they came out of the Bedroom & told them she was dead.  She 
didn't go to funeral But stayed with Grandma Freeze at house.  I have spent 
weekend with them a lot.  They didn't have any convenience But not many of us 
did have at that time.
		Was glad to get the death certificate of Caroline.  Will have 
to tell my cousin the cemetery - caretaker we have record to show she was 
Buried a Locust Grove Cemetery.  Mom always went to the top of the hill with 
her little Bunch of flowers is why we knew where it was at."

information sent to me.)

		The following information is oral family history from Zelma 
Swayne Knauff, and it has made the rounds among Cokonougher researchers.  It 
was given to Zelma  by her cousin, Lucille Williamson.  Lucille's mother Bessie 
(Freeze) Chenoweth is the one that put together some sort of family history.
