Additional Comments:
         Liz Storts was a distant cousin of my mother. She lived all by 
herself, when I was a child, way down in a deep hollar just off Turkey Ridge 
Road, about 1 mile south of Lower Twin Road, in Buckskin Township of Ross 
County, Ohio.  
         My family visited Liz quite often when I was a child.  My mother 
liked the long conversations that they had, and my father especially liked the 
strong wines and home brews that Liz made.  Their alcohol content was the 
strongest that could be found anywhere.  Once when I was a baby, I crawled on 
the floor of Liz's homes, and played with a toy train locomotive.  Liz 
contemplatedly watched me turn the wheels on the train while I tried to figure 
out how they worked, and then turned to my father and jokingly 
commented, "Look at him study the wheels on that train.  He's a smart little 
devil.  Could be that we have another president of the United States on our 
hands."  Well, I never became president, but my father and mother enjoyed 
relating the story of Liz's prediction many times over the years, long after 
she had died.
