My name is Susan Wiesendanger Harter.
John and I were cousins - our mother's were, I think, second cousins.
I grew up in Anniston, Alabama, he in Attalla. We would see each other occasionally. He lived with my aunt, Lillian Fields, in Anniston while attending Jacksonville College before attending West Point.
For a number of years, we were out of touch, but became re-acquainted when he would stop in Fayetteville AR while travelling to CO. We were lucky to have been able to spend time with him in Red River.
He will be greatly missed.
I send my love to all the family,
Susan

I'm glad I got to know John as a neighbor and customer in Maysville. I always enjoyed talking with him about his garden and tomatoes.

We didn't get to know John until late in our lives as John and Susan, maiden name Wiesendanger from Anniston, that were cousins were separated for many years, After we made contact we really enjoyed our times together, in Gurley, in Whitepine and at our residence here in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We are saddened by John's death and will miss him greatly.
