{Clarence R. Huffman, Hugo B Huffman, Sheridin 1890. (Shirley)was she a twin ??__} little to no data.

Brady Ray m Ida E Bennington,, I did not meet Ralph or Keith, maybe deceased?


I met and stayed 10 days with Eva Patterson, one of his daughters. She shared pictures and stories and so did many other related kin at that time in 1993. We had so much fun. Katie Santee, Rays' wife, Zenia and Violet Gilbert, Eva, and other Huffman/Hoffman kin did an all night cocoa and cookies and nut breads night. I will always cherish that night of :  Sadness, Happiness, Gay Feelings, Closeness, Amazing kin ship and startling simularities, phrases said, thoughts and how close our genes really showed we were.  Violet reminded me of my Aunt Mae (Cecil Mae Hoffman, dau of Cecil Lee and Inez Scott Hoffman, my grandparents, Jacob was a walking duplicate of my Uncle William Richard Hoffman known as Uncle Dick whom passed last Sept.  I wanted those two to meet so badly. He was a paratrooper during WW2. His walk, his words, his dress,  so amazing.
Katie Santee was a reminder of Aunt Ruth  another of their siblings.

Grandad Cecil Lee Hoffman (1958) asked me please to go to Greene Co. and find the family his DAD  took him to meet before he started school in Iowa.  A few days after I came home  a lady called and said she remembered them coming to visit.  Her name and all was in the old files I fear the internet gobbled up.

I met some of Jarvis Lee's descendants also from Iowa that had moved to CA. About 20 years before my Mother and Dad came.  We came 1942ish .

Hope it helps you in your research.  

Helen Durbin we missed you so much that night but you were still recovering from accident. Love you all.
