Most of my knowledge of Hiram was through his sister, Dottie, although my husband and I did have the good fortune to meet him once, years ago in Chapel Hill NC.

Hiram and Beya 2004
I am so privileged to have connected with Hiram several years ago through my genealogical research on Don's Caton ancestors.

We had another lovely visit with Hiram in Concord at the Caton Family Reunion, organized by Dottie.
