An uncle that I never knew. Great story! I have a photo of you, your mom & dad and 5 brothers and sister taken in 1890. Your parents preceded you by 18 and 28 years. You preceded your sister by one year, brothers Thomas, George, Robert, Leroy & Charles Wesley passed later. A cop in the family. Very cool.
