[or-roots] Re: OBIT - Flogging dead buttermilk horse

[Denise Merritt]

Thanks for sharing the obituary.  Anne Muth Caldwell Boss is my 
grandmother's first cousin.  My grandmother has Alzheimer's so if she knew 
about the death of her cousin she forgot to tell me.  I'm the family 
historian but many of the relatives forget I want to know about such 
unpleasant events as the death of cousins.  I appreciate the "flogging the 
dead buttermilk horse" as the sidelight is I learned some info that was 
important for my database <Grin>.  Thanks Leslie for typing out that 
obituary!
