I so loved my Uncle Tildon, a proud Marine. He was a great father, husband, and understood the meaning of hard work. It was always a treat to go to their dairy farm--he'd let me try and milk a cow but never was I successful. I miss him!!!!

Mr. Chavers always treated us with friendship and kindness when we worked on our property right next-door to his on Tildon St. We finally returned from NY and built a beautiful new house there. We send our love and sympathy to Mrs. Chavers and all the family
