homage to unknown uncle

Six years before I was born, my mother's younger brother (John L. Groff) was killed when his car wrecked. Seventy-one years later (Saturday) some Groff cousins discussed the two newspaper articles about the accident and the two obituaries (one in the local newspaper and one in the church periodical). We gathered at the cemetery and shared info and asked questions of three of his contemporaries--Chris Brackbill, Amos Groff, and his sister, Elsie Martin.
