I visited Judy & John along with Irma & Marlin out at their farm in the late 50´s and early 60´s as I accompanied my grandparents Louis & Bethel Peters of rural Melvin. Couldn´t say but Marvin and Louis were cousins (?). Judy was always mostly dealing with her chickens and enjoyed talking about them. I was around when the tornado destroyed their home on the highest ground for miles. You could sit on their South/front porch and see the glow of Champaign easily. They were all good people and I enjoyed our visits.
