    The Franklin Pierce Miller Family
This is a group picture of the Millers. I know that Grandmother Patsy is on the left end of the back row and my mother is on the right end. I do not know who the young woman beside Patsy is but the man is my father, Herbert Franklin Stultz, son of Edith. The two men in the front are John and Ted, I think. I am sure about John but confuse Ted and Wedon.

      Hi Stephanie,
      I found this message in my drafts folder. It appears I never sent it. If you are getting it twice, please just delete it. I wrote it more than a week ago. It also seems the picture I tried to send was somehow removed. I will try it again in a different email

      Hi Virginia,
      Thank you so much for the information you sent. You really went above and beyond and it is greatly appreciated. I will be more than happy to mail you a copy of Mary Helena Miller Taylor and will do so, right after the holidays. I want to make you a really good copy. Thank you again for the the photo of Patsy. I have never seen photos of this branch of the family with exception of Mary. I suggest that we try to connect via the phone sometime later in January. I would like very much to touch base. I wish you and yours better health and a very Merry Christmas. Take care.
      Blessings and Cheer.
      Cousin Stephanie
