I apologize for posing a question here but don't know how to contact you. I have searched the internet and have not been able to find anything on my grandfather Hubert Spurgeon Ellenberger and wondered if you as Richards descendants would have heard the name in your family tree anywhere. My mother was born in 1929 and Hubert Ellenberger was her father. Thank you and you can reach me at 850-212-3576 or [email protected]

Uncle Dick always had a smile, and kind words to offer. He was a wonderful brother, uncle, and friend to his brother-in-law, Fran. We are sorry for your loss, and have you in our thoughts and prayers.

With heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you comfort.
