The application below was sent to me by Marilyn Janette Everhart Kowalski together with a cover letter explaining about the application. The letter reveals what genealogy research she is working on. I considered it important enough to include here. Editor, Don Smith:

Dear Don:
I finally remembered to copy these papers for Fannie Bray Green Rockwell. I've enclosed a copy of the letter that was sent to me when they sent me the application. They list her death date on that letter. I've been searching on USGenWeb and found cemetery records for my great great grandma and great great uncle. I was pleased! The WPA (WPA = Works Progress Administration - established in 1935) did a cemetery survey in the 1930s of cemeteries in Iowa - so, I was lucky there. With family info and census records and now the gravestone data, I've gotten more "blanks" filled in. Always have more "blanks". HA. I also found another of my great great uncle's sons and his family in the 1920 census; Joseph Ward married to Elizabeth had three children, Gladys, Helen and Harry. It's interesting as my grandmother was named Gladys and she had a sister Helen and brother Harry - and my dad's two sisters were Gladys and Helen. Two of my grandmother's sisters also had daughters named Gladys. My great grandfather was Harry Henry Ward. It's interesting to see names repeated down the generations. I wish the WPA had recorded the graves in Missouri too, also in Indiana, Pennslyvania, etc./etc. Marilyn K.
