Mildred Beam was raised by her Mother and her step father, Mr. Johnson. She was living at 15 62 Pratt St. (was this in New York?) when she graduated from high school.

Sandy,

Two things wrong in that obit. Dad was born in Webster county. I think the Updyke lad that w as Mildred's son was also named Hal. I met him once when he was an Ensign in the navy abou t 1966/67. He was married to his childhood sweetheart , a darling girl that contracterd MS a t age 23. The last I knew of them she was in remission. Think her mane was Diana , Debby or s omething like that.

jdb

Sandy,

Over coffee this morning, Janice corrected my thinking a bit. Mildred's husband name was "Ham ". That could have been short for Hamilton or some other name. Maybe Doris and George know . Hal was the boy's name and Suzie was the girls name. ( it's nice to have a wife when you ne ed information) I also see I misspelled the Opdyke name in my last message. ( must have bee n thinking of John Updyke, an author of several novels twenty plus years ago)

I didn't read the too carefully the two Updike names you sent. Mildred died in the late 70' s as Jan had gone to Miami to see her sister, who was also terminal with colon cancer. Thou gh, I think Mildred had ovarian cancer. She also went to see Mildred and Ham as they were sno wbirds and always went to Fla. in the winter months.

Well,... Janice to the rescue. She just came in with a lot of pictures and Sue's address. Th e address is several years old and may be outdated. Sue & Jeff Ray
553 W. Franklin st.
Horsehead,N.Y. 14845

Will send several pictures out today. Guess I do need a scanner.
