*I'm still looking for an ID for Grandpa S. Severy. The surnames of the 4 grandparents were Ditzenberger, Moore, Roderin and Minnich; no Severy. If anyone has information on this family, dates, anecdotes, etc., I'd be pleased to receive it. As always, I'm happy to provide information I have, as well.
