As Margaret McCombs great neice, I would like to thank SitNews
for printing the article regarding Margaret McCombs. Through
the article written by Louise B. Harrington, I was able to gain
greater insight into a great part of my family history.
I am Margaret's great neice---her
sister was my great grandmother, Cynthia Wakefield, and my father
is Edward Lemke, who is Margaret's nephew (I hope I have all
of that right). Although I cannot be there to share in the joy
of her 100th birthday, I still would like to send her my love
and extend my contact information to Marion and Yvonna, as I
am afraid we have lost contact over the years.

the Griffin family moved in and tried to eke out a living"
