Hello Bill & Diana:

You just made our christmas with your apple piece. Jacob Wiedman was Arlene's great
grandfather. We knew he had an orchard, but had not been able to find any
documentation on it, just what was passed down through family members. Jacob used to
deliver nursery stock out of his wagon many miles from home. Jacob delivered a large
number of trees by wagon to the Hillie Ranch located Just south the Smoky Hill River
in southern Trego County, a distance of abt 140 miles.

We now have all of the cemeteries that I walked in Graham County on line, I will do
the Hill City After I finish the Wakeeney in Trego County. I have all of the Trego
Cemeteries on line except the WaKeeney. I have it Walked, Cataloged & Recorded.
I have about 1/3 ready to go on line, but have to finish everything first, so as to
have it all in alphabetical order.

I keep checking out the Lincoln County Site, You, Diana & Tracee are still tops in
my book. If you don't mind I would like to use the Wiedman Apple article in my
Family History book.

We wish you & your loved ones a happy & great 2002!
Thank you
Gayle
