Hi Ellie.
My name is Judy Brugger I understand we are distant cousins.  I have rec'd your name from 2 different family members Belva Ticknor and Tommi Sue Kadotoni, and thought I would give you a quick note.   My great
grandmother was the baby of the Farnsworth family, Edna Farnsworth, she and her second husband move to Portland in about 1903.  She and Uncle Nathan were the 2 babies and he spent a lot of time in Calif and Oregon.
On Sept 16 my husband and I are going to Hudson Ohio to visit my youngest daughter who has moved there with her family.  I understand it is about 4 hours from Hicksville.....Defiance Cty and we want to drive over to the
area to investigate our roots.  I don't know if you have any connections with family who might still be living in the area but I would so like to know and contact them if possible.  We also have a cousin living in Las Vegas and we are planning a trip that way possibly next month and if we make it I would love to chat with you. Tommi Sue and Kenneth were here for a wedding recently and we had them over for dinner and had a wonderful visit .  The next day she and I  went through all the things I have left from my family.  
Just brief note about me;  I was born in Portland in 1940 have been married 2 times.  I have 2 daughters ages 40 and 42 they each have 4 children.  I have 3 step children with 3 other grandchildren plus one great granddaughter.  We are lucky enough to both be retired,  I worked 31 years at the OR State Mental Hospital in several different  capacities and my husband was a brewer.  We live a pretty modest life and enjoy our family and friends.  Have done a bit of traveling, but mostly stick around home.  We built a house on the Oregon Coast where we spend much 
of idol time enjoying the sea.  My mom is still living, dad passed away in 1981.  Since retirement I have taken up both bridge and golf and do quite poorly at each but they say it takes time to learn and improve as in anything.  I love to knit and sew, which of late I do very little,   have done quilting but am tired of that.  Enough of that stuff, I hope you will write me a note about you and will look forward to your reply.  
Fondly,  Judy

I have almost no info on the Crary's, in fact the info you sent the other day gave me a place of death for Orley Crary.  I find it interesting that my great grandfather and grandfather both died on Dec 8, my father died
Dec 7 and 2 years ago on Dec 7 I had a heart attack.  "Spookie" to say the least.  Can you tell me how you do all this research?  Are you on the internet doing it or some other source.  Hope I got these dates right for you, 
the paper I took them from is such a mess I need a better way of keeping this info, any suggestions?  I will do my family later am tired of typing and trying to decipher my notes.
    
I will close for now as it is almost 11 pm and I have been up since 5 am. Do you have Tommi Sue's e-mail address?
Looking forward to sharing more info.   Judy
