This is my Uncle John who I knew very well and spent some time with him. My mother ended up having his house after he and my grandmother Ida passed away. I live with my mother there while I was 7th and 8th grade.
My subject is that I do know that the obituary was incorrect about the relationship to Matthew Vassar. My oldest brother always wanted that to be so, but I did extensive research in to this and we were not connected to Matthew.
