>I have had very poor luck trying to send messages using addresses from the
Cornish-L so I will not nock myself out with the whole story but my mother
was born to William cutler and Rachel Johnson on oct28 1876 in Bowne
township Kent County Mich. She married my Dad in July 1900 in Grand Rapids
Mi.
>Mother died Dec24 1959.

>William Cutler was a tole gate tender when he made the placement in a
foster home. He visited mother once in the uniform of a Grand Rapids
Policeman and at some point moved the older members of his family who were
still with him to Arizona. Mother's siblings wrote to her especially
Hattie but nothing remains of their corresp
>ondence.

>Uncle Fred was the only one that I saw . He would make a pilgrimage to
the grand Rapids area once a year. He would only stay a short while
sometimes he was gone before I got home from school He subscribed to the
Arizona Highways for mother after she had a stroke and didn't know him any
more. I did have his address at that time and wrote him a letter telling
him about how she held the magazine on her lap and would only give it up
when the next one came.

>My grandfather came to visit and stayed with my mother's sister Nora who
had also been placed in foster care. Mother and I went to visit and all I
remember of him is that he was very bald very tall and smelled stgrongly of
linament. Fred

writing that I did of everything I remember of the family. By snail mail
of course.
