The Stuff I'm Made of
While gathering pictures from family members for a personal project, I came across some histories and other gems I had not seen before. I thought I would make copies for my siblings, but decided that was too much work. As I got into it, I learned my Aunt Ruth was also working on the same information; however, she was transcribing (not just scanning like me), researching, and rewriting much of the information. So, now, I'm in the process of adding Aunt Ruth's documents to this site (there's a ton!).
I also just got a bunch of information from Ginger Vandenburg, a friend (and relative!) in the neighborhood, who also comes through the Cox line. I believe much of it comes from Before and After Mt. Pisgah by Clare Christensen. I've added that all in.
Sorry everything looks so bad, the Google Pages to Google Sites migration made it look worse than it already was!
I'm looking into converting this to a wiki, where anyone can upload info they have. If anyone has any great ideas, let me know.
