No I don't have the connection. I only know that my father and so did
Jessie say we were related but they didn't know connection. The Wesley
Crossman that lived in the trailer below you, was his wife named Helen.
If it is the same one, she was a Welch./o Walter Harry Welch & Jessie
Shipley related to that same line.
We must be getting the cold weather from your area. It is suppose to go
below 0° F tonight and stay in the teens for the next few days. Not as
cold as you though. Thanks for the reply.
I looked in my collection of stone from the Apple River Cemetery but
only found one Nieves. I will add the note to the file about them
burying their dead in the backyard.
