Hi Ivy,
Thanks for the posting. I knew that reading these obits was never a waste
of time. :o)
I found that Gertrude E Seymour is an Aunt to Clayton Seymour that married
into Lavinia Godwin's line. Her parents were Arthur Godwin 1900 & Sarah
Jane Hewitt.
Thanks again and keep up the wonderful contributions.
Lori-Ann
