Benjamin Ballard "Ben" Halterman

To Ben Halterman Family:
I hope I have the right Ben Halterman and
sorry to hear of his death. I am thinking
Ben married my grandmother Anna Canterbury Wickline sister Mary and remember having one son but don't remember the name of son. They use to come see my grandmother and Ben would always be so nice talking to us because we were small than. But our age has caught up with us now. Hoping all the family will have strength to get through this as it is hard to loose a father.

Lillian, I was sorry to hear that your dad passed. My husband, Lewis, talked about him recently. Hope you and your family are doing well. I worked at the Central Ofc. with you.

You are loved and missed Dad.
Lillian
