Hi Kay,
Yes she had a house full of papers. She told me she
had several tall cabinets full of Couch research. I
know whe was doing a book on, I think, Angie
Deboe?(spell) or something like that. I had asked her
if she had it published yet, this was about 1998or 99.
I had only contacted her once after she went to the
nusing home. Use to write to her, then one day got the
news that she had died.

I believe it was someone else in Norman that sent me
the news clipping of Edna in the paper. I have it
tucked away somewhere in my files cabinet, stress one
cabinet. I know it was hard for her to get around as
she was attacked by a mugger or purse snatcher at one
time and was hurt.

Anyway, she helped me with Peter S. Couch who was my
husbands 3rd great grandfather.
