even though I have not been good at updating this page.

T. Gauss, son of Wilhelm Gauss, son of Carl Frederick Gauss.
Most recently, I have been transcribing letters
written in 1911 from William's wife, sister-in-law and daughter
who took a trip to Germany, and serendipitously happened to attend
a ceremony in Gauss' honor.
January 23, 2000 -- I have added the silhouettes
of my grandparents, Guy and Betty Chambless to the headers of

Durfee, James Durfee (1800-1850)

from Ada Butchart & Florence Johns, plus an account by John
Jay Johns of a trip he took to Texas in 1886. I have more
journal between 1881 & 1886, but decided to indulge myself
by typing this.
