SORRY ABOUT DLETHA. HER FATHER WAS MY UNCLE.

I am so sorry to hear about the death of Aletha. Although I never met her, she was my cousin. My great-great-grandfather, Jason Stubbs, and her great-grandfather were brothers, born in Tennessee, moved to Illinois before the Civil War, and both ended up in the MidWest (Jason in Iowa, her great-grandfather in Nebraska). My great-grandfather, William Stubbs, also moved to Nebraska. Please accept my sympathy on your loss.
