WARNING! : Proofreading is not completed.

Check back to see how proofreading is coming.
This has to be proof read several times

Mrs. Raber did not cross her t's so it is nearly impossible to distinquish between
names like "Nellie" and "Nettie". Also some of the Capital "T"'s and "F"s are identical.
Many abbreviates are used.
d y = died young — u m = unmarked — sur. = survived
