Ouderkirk

To Neil Weatherbee:

Back in January you asked for two obituaries: Maxwell Frederick Ouderkirk
and Harvey Salter Ouderkirk. My life has been incredibly hectic since then
and I don't recall whether or not I sent the obits as you requested. In case
I didn't, they follow. Because I was copying the obits out by hand,
wherever I have shown .... it means that there was text that I didn't copy
because it didn't strictly pertain to genealogy.

Lucretia Jane Treen is my great-grandmother and she was the sister of Edward
"Ned" Ouderkirk's wife, Sarah Jane Treen.

-- Carolyn Simpson (formerly, Beaulieu)
