Hi Laurie,Just a few minutes at home here and needed a break from it all so thought I would send you a bit from Mary Twombly's will. I can xerox it all later if you want that. Will have a bit more time later on and still hope you will remind me if I forget. RaymondaMary died 1 July 1927 age 70 Adair county, Iowa. Maiden name unknown at this time.She had been married three times1- Jospeh Kimes- had children2- _____Prewitt- had children3- George D Twombly- no children to himThere could be an obit in the Fontanelle Observer as the probate was posted in that paper.
