Peggy Tagg Rall
Dear Greg & Vivian,
First of all our deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. I read the obituary on Sunday and noticed he was born in Salyersville, KY. Also, his mother's maiden name,
Wireman rang a bell. I knew we were related in some way so
contacted my cousin Wayne Leffingwell who is the keeper of
all the family data. He said your mother was the daughter of Roy Shepherd, my grandmother's brother (Charity Shepherd
Howard). Wayne's mother, Audrey and my mother, Edna, were
first cousins to your mother, which makes us second cousins.
Wayne lives in Springfield and I live in Springboro. I have
one surviving uncle, Joe Howard, who would have been your
mother's first cousin. He just turned 81 and also lives in
Springfield. We lost my mother last December at 90 (she would have turned 91 on January 23. Our family all sends
our very best wishes. My phone is 937-748-4404 if you would
ever like to call. Peggy Rall
