What a blessing to see these photos. This is my mother (Mama), a beautiful person. who taught me to love and serve the Lord. Her note on this photo suggests she lived for the good she could do, and there are many wonderful memories.
(John Briggs, 79 in Oct. and busy serving the Lord. Just got back from a mission trip to Indonesia.)

I have a couple of questions for you. I too, have Crabtree relatives (Richard Arnold Crabtree, his daughter Amy (Amelia) Crabtree married Thomas Beecham (from NB, Canada). They settled in Nebraska eventually where they are buried in Antelope County (I have some information on that, but not with me at this computer). They had a number of children - one of which was my great great Grandfather, Elmer Beecham (m Lizzie (Elizabeth) Chalfant). They eventually moved into South Dakota - where most of the “current” family is now from.
Do you have any information about anyone mentioned? I do have dates and sources if you need them.
Anything you may be able to provide would make me very happy.
Thanks
Brandon Erikson.
