I am so sorry for your loss.
I think that Marshall was my cousin. My grandfather was Marshall Cropper and my father was Jay C. Cropper from Martins Ferry, OH. I have tried to locate family members off and on for years. I moved to Florida in 1971. I am now in Lutz north of Tampa. I would love to connect with any possible family members. Please contact me if you are interested.
