Marleen---Nice to hear back from you so qiuckly. I'm sorry, I mis-understood you, I thought it was your father-in-law born in CHERRYVALE, I didn't realize it was your father. So, what were any of his family names, parents, brothers, sisiters?
THANKS-Vickie

A name my mother remember's from growing up in Cherryvale, Ks., is Lena Alonzo (not sure of spelling of 1st name). Lena could be short for Avalina, possibly Lina. This Lena my mother said moved to ST. Louis, MISSOURI and never came back to CHERRYVALE.
Thanks
