Subject: [nscumber] Hollis Lorne Porter of Springhill
Attempting to zero in on locating an obit for Raymond Porter to see if his
wife was Peal Pettigrew, we now know he was alive in Springhill in 1987.
Brothers, Sterling Cecil died in the 1958 Bump and Victor St. Clair must
have died sometime between 1958 and 1987.
