I am sorry to hear about the death of Esther Sleeger. Esther was my father's younger half-sister. My father's name was Ervin Edwin Dise, son of Nettie Myers Dise Raver. Ervin had a brother Palmer Myers, sister Pauline Dise, brother Milner Dise. My father Ervin went to live with the Alan Keeny family in MD when he was about 5 years old (he was born in 1910). I found out about Esther's death on Genealogy.com today (1/26/13) Please contact me at [email protected] if you see this and can help me with our family history. Thank You.
