Rev. W. E. Isenhour's daughter-in-law, Darce v Archer Isenhour, shared with me that her husband remembered Aunt Sallie and always talked about her good biscuits. Darce said she never could make biscuits like Aunt Sallie. She said according to what she heard, Aunt Sallie, was a real sweet person who was there for others. She could not remember Lela's first husbands name, but said we were distantly related through Aunt Sallie Van Hoy, that is Sarah Campbell Van Hoy
