LFJC: I remember some of these cousins, particularly Jack, Orland,
Pearl and Annie. They and their children would visit us fairly often.
It was always fun to have company. Orland had a car in the late 40's
and would take us for picnics to places like Horeshoe Bay, etc.
Lindsey's had several daughters around Jess's age. One of them
contracted polio and was in an iron lung when I was in high school
(1953 or later). Two were: Gwen and Eunice.

Pearl had only one daughter, Fay, who was a little older than I and
really lively.
